    Modern Monarchy

    The monarchy is the heart of the United Kingdom’s social, political and constitutional construction.The King is a non-party-political head of state, Supreme Head of the Church of England, head of the Commonwealth and head of state of fourteen former colonial nations, including Canada, New Zealand and Australia. The royal family is subject to intense public scrutiny, which has created tensions and fractures in the public image of the monarchy and risks undermining the Crown’s broader political and constitutional role. Craig Prescott presents a detailed and considered study of the role of monarchy in the twenty-first century and how it might adapt to survive and continue to be relevant for the people of Britain and the wider world.

  • What is a monarchy?

    A monarchy is a form of government in which a single ruler, usually a king or queen, holds all the power and authority. In a monarchy, the position of the ruler is usually hereditary, meaning it is passed down through a royal family. Monarchies can be absolute, where the ruler has complete control over the government, or constitutional, where the ruler's powers are limited by a constitution or parliament. Monarchies have existed throughout history and can be found in various countries around the world.

  • Is monarchy actually illegal?

    Monarchy is not inherently illegal, as there are several countries around the world that still have a monarchy as part of their government structure. However, in some countries, the monarchy may be limited in its powers and subject to constitutional or legal restrictions. In other countries, the monarchy may have been abolished or transformed into a ceremonial role. Therefore, the legality of monarchy depends on the specific laws and constitution of each country.

  • What is the difference between an elective monarchy and a hereditary monarchy?

    An elective monarchy is a system in which the monarch is chosen by a group of individuals, such as nobles or a council, through a process of election. In contrast, a hereditary monarchy is a system in which the monarch's position is passed down through generations within a specific family or bloodline. While in an elective monarchy the ruler is selected based on merit, qualifications, or other criteria, in a hereditary monarchy, the succession is based solely on familial ties and lineage.

  • What is the difference between a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary monarchy?

    In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, which outlines the monarch's role and responsibilities. The government is usually run by elected officials, and the monarch's role is largely ceremonial. In a parliamentary monarchy, the monarch's powers are even more limited, with the government being run by a parliament and a prime minister. The monarch's role is purely symbolic, with no real political power.

  • The Queen : Elizabeth II and the Monarchy
    The Queen : Elizabeth II and the Monarchy

    An updated edition of Ben Pimlott’s classic biography of the Queen: ‘There is no better biography of Elizabeth II.’ PETER HENNESSY, Independent on Sunday ‘A magisterial biography and the only one that seriously deals with her constitutional and political role' Tim Shipman, Sunday Times The royal family have been through a tumultuous decade, but with the wedding of Prince William to Kate Middleton, Prince Philip’s 90th birthday and the forthcoming Diamond Jubilee celebrations, there is renewed interest and appreciation of our monarchy.The Queen is an in-depth look at the woman at the centre of it all and is the only biography to take Elizabeth II seriously as the subject of historical biography, or to examine the influences that formed her and the ideas she represents.

The Queen looks at the social, political and psychological aspects of his subject in detail, as well as at the changing role of Monarchy in the British Constitution.In the process, the book displays all the author’s formidable analytic and narrative skills, and provides a gripping yet sensitive account of one of the most publicised – yet least known – figures of our time.It is vital reading for all those who care about public life in Britain – past, present and to come.

  • Coronation : A History of the British Monarchy
    Coronation : A History of the British Monarchy

    The definitive history of coronations and the Royal Family, from acclaimed writer Roy Strong. ’What is the finest sight in the world?A Coronation. What do people talk most about? A Coronation. What is delightful to have passed? A Coronation.’Horace Walpole, 1761 As a boy of sixteen, Roy Strong watched the grand procession carrying Queen Elizabeth II to her coronation.The spectacle was considered the greatest public event of the century.But now, so many years later, many people have little notion of what a coronation is and are unaware of the rich resonances of the ritual, or its deep significance in terms of the committal of monarch to people. This book is the first of its kind – a comprehensive history that sets each coronation into its political, social, religious and cultural context.The story is one of constant re-invention as the service has had to respond to all the changes in fortune of the monarchy or the country: everything from legitimising usurpers to reconciling a Catholic rite to the tenets of Protestantism.It even had to be recreated from scratch after the Restoration of Charles II in 1660.In this way, Strong tells the story of the British monarchy since the tenth century, and looks forward to the coronation of King Charles III.The musical history alone is one of extraordinary richness – involving Henry Purcell, Handel, Edward Elgar, William Walton – plus the celebratory poetry, the art and the spectacular engravings published at coronations are all explored, as is the more recent role of photographers.The book particularly concentrates on post-1603 developments, including the incredible story of the Stuarts, when the crown jewels used for hundreds of years at coronations were melted down as symbols of the hated Divine Right of Kings. As Charles III succeeds to the throne and preparations are made for his coronation, Strong speculates as to the revisions now called for to its ritual and pageantry to meet the changes in the role of the monarchy in the twenty-first century.

  • What is the difference between a parliamentary monarchy and a constitutional monarchy?

    A parliamentary monarchy is a form of government in which a monarch acts as the head of state, while the day-to-day affairs of the government are managed by a parliament and a prime minister. In this system, the monarch's powers are largely ceremonial and symbolic. On the other hand, a constitutional monarchy is a form of government in which the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, and the government is run by elected officials. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's role is largely ceremonial and symbolic, similar to a parliamentary monarchy, but the powers and limitations are defined by a constitution.

  • What is the Danube Monarchy? Is it a dual monarchy between Austria and Hungary or a Habsburg monarchy? Need help.

    The Danube Monarchy, also known as the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was a dual monarchy between Austria and Hungary. It was established in 1867 after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, which granted Hungary more autonomy within the empire. The Habsburg monarchy refers to the ruling family of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as the Habsburgs were the ruling dynasty of both Austria and Hungary. Therefore, the Danube Monarchy can be considered both a dual monarchy between Austria and Hungary and a Habsburg monarchy.

  • Is monarchy better than anarchy?

    Monarchy and anarchy are two very different forms of government, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Monarchy provides stability and continuity as power is passed down through a hereditary line, while anarchy allows for individual freedom and autonomy. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a government system depends on the specific circumstances and values of a society. Some may argue that a well-functioning monarchy can provide stability and leadership, while others may prefer the freedom and self-governance that anarchy can offer.

  • Is a constitutional monarchy unconstitutional?

    No, a constitutional monarchy is not unconstitutional. In a constitutional monarchy, the monarch's powers are limited by a constitution, which outlines the monarch's role and responsibilities within the government. This system allows for a balance of power between the monarch and other branches of government, ensuring that the monarchy operates within the framework of the constitution.
