Privy council
The Privy Council is the body which advises the head of state, that is the Queen. The word „privy” means private or secret and the first Privy Council was originally a committee of the monarch's closest advisors. In the UK the present-day Privy Council consists of all the members of the Cabinet, former Cabinet Ministers, and other distinguished people appointed by the Sovereign. The functions of the Privy Council include issuing Orders in Council, granting Royal Charters, and acting as a court of appeal from British courts in overseas territories. The Privy Council only meets as a full body on the death of the Monarch. It conducts much of its business in committees at which the Monarch may not constitutionally be present. In addition to being informed and consulted about all aspects of national life, the Queen is free to put forward her own views, in private, for the consideration of her Ministers.
Compare and contrast the powers of the Monarch in the UK and those of the US President. In which ways are they similar and in which different? Don’t give separate descriptions of the powers. You may use the clues in the boxes below. There is a possible beginning of your essay below the boxes. See also: Opinion Essays in the Recommendations on Creative Writing Work.

Королівська прерогатива - це сукупність повноважень, привілеїв та імунітетів, що визнаються у загальному, а іноді й у цивільному праві як такі, що належать монарху. Це засіб, яким монарх наділяється та володіє певними виконавчими повноваженнями. Спочатку прерогативні повноваження здійснювалися монархом, який діяв самостійно й не потребував згоди парламенту. Зараз вони здійснюються за порадою прем’єр-міністра або Кабінету, які є підзвітними за ці рішення перед парламентом. Корона, яка представляє як суверена, так і уряд, є символом найвищої виконавчої влади. Королівською владою наділяється королева, проте загалом ці функції виконуються міністрами, відповідальними перед парламентом. Таким чином, Сполучене Королівство управляється урядом її величності від імені королеви. Однак участь королеви все ж таки є необхідною у багатьох важливих актах влади та державних справах.
Таємна рада є органом, що надає поради главі держави, тобто королеві. Слово «privy» означає приватний або таємний, і перша Таємна рада була зібранням найближчих радників монарха. У Сполученому Королівстві сучасна Таємна рада складається з усіх членів Кабінету, колишніх міністрів Кабінету та інших відомих осіб, призначених сувереном. Функції Таємної ради включають видання королівських указів у раді та видання королівських грамот. Таємна рада діє також як апеляційний суд, що розглядає справи, подані Британськими судами у закордонних країнах Співдружності. Таємна рада засідає у повному складі тільки з приводу смерті монарха. Рада веде більшість справ у комітетах, в яких монарх згідно з конституцією не може бути присутнім. Королева може не тільки отримувати інформацію та консультації з усіх аспектів життя країни, але й конфіденційно пропонувати свою точку зору на розгляд міністрам.
