Privy Councillor

A Privy Councillor is a member of a formal body known as the Privy Council, which advises the head of state or government, such as a monarch or prime minister. In many countries, including the UK, this council includes senior politicians, judges, and other distinguished figures who provide counsel on important matters. Membership is often an honorary position recognizing service or expertise. The Privy Council’s activities can include approving legislation, issuing formal orders, or offering confidential advice, playing a key role in government and constitutional processes.
