Royal proclamations
Royal proclamations are official announcements made by a monarch, often intended to convey important information or to enact laws. These proclamations can address various matters, such as public policy, military actions, or celebrations. Historically, they served to communicate the monarch's decisions to subjects and governments. While the legal authority of proclamations can vary by country and context, they typically reflect the monarch's will and can impact governance, societal norms, and national events. In modern times, proclamations can also include declarations of public holidays or various observances.
