Queen’s Privy Council

The Queen’s Privy Council is a formal body of advisors to the monarch, primarily consisting of senior politicians, ministers, and officials. Its main role is to advise the Queen on government matters, such as signing legislation into law or issuing official orders. While historically influential, today it mainly functions as a ceremonial institution that supports the formal process of governance. Its members are typically prominent figures in government, and the council’s decisions are usually executed through written orders rather than active discussions.
