Privy Council

The Privy Council is a formal body of advisors to the British monarch, composed of senior politicians, judges, and clergy. Historically, it played a key role in governance, but its functions have evolved over time. Today, it mainly serves as a court of last resort for certain legal cases from some Commonwealth countries and oversees appointments to key positions. The Privy Council's decisions can influence law and policy in those nations, reflecting its ongoing significance in the constitutional and legal landscape of the United Kingdom and its former territories.
