Royal Ceremonies

The British Monarchy is steeped in tradition, with numerous ceremonies that have been performed for centuries. This section explores some of the most important royal ceremonies.

  1. Searching the House of Parliament: Before every State Opening of Parliament, the Yeomen of the Guard search the cellars beneath the Palace of Westminster by candlelight. This tradition dates back to 1605.

  4. Changing of the Guard: Outside Buckingham Palace, guardsmen in bright red uniforms and bearskin hats protect the Queen. The daily ceremony of changing these guards dates back to 1660.

Powers of the Monarch

The role of the British monarch in modern times is largely ceremonial, but still holds significant symbolic importance. This section outlines the powers and responsibilities of the monarch in the United Kingdom.

Key powers and duties include:

  • Formally opening Parliament every year
  • Giving royal assent to bills passed by Parliament, turning them into Acts of Parliament
  • Embarking on goodwill visits abroad
  • Hosting foreign heads of state

The monarch also serves as a vital part of Britain's "national identity, unity and pride." Some interesting and lesser-known powers of the monarch include:

  • The right to claim ownership of any unmarked mute swan swimming in open waters
  • Dominion over all whales, sturgeons, and dolphins in the waters around England and Wales

Highlight: While the monarch's role is largely ceremonial, they retain significant symbolic importance in British governance and national identity.

Example: In 2019, the Brexit debate placed the Queen at the heart of political discussions, highlighting the monarch's role in times of national importance.

British Royal Dynasties

The concept of royal dynasties is central to understanding the British Monarchy. A dynasty is defined as a line of hereditary rulers of a country.

The history of British royal dynasties is rich and complex:

  • In the 7th century, various Anglo-Saxon kingdoms formed England, with Wessex being an exception.
  • From 865 to 878, Vikings from Denmark invaded most of these kingdoms, except for Wessex.
  • In 901, the rulers of Wessex began to reclaim the lost kingdoms.

There are six main dynasties in British history:

  1. Normans
  2. Plantagenets
  3. Tudors
  4. Stuarts
  5. Hanoverians
  6. Windsors

Highlight: The Stuarts were particularly significant as their first monarch, James I, united England and Scotland under a single ruler, shaping the future of the United Kingdom.

Vocabulary: Dynasty - A line of hereditary rulers of a country.
