He or she is a nonpolitical head of states restrained by either a written or unwritten constitution, which relocates the rest of the power to the legislature and the judiciary.

This, however, is just a small visible end of the real power that the British –constitutional- monarchy holds over public employees.

Does the British Monarchy have too much power? Eight hundred years on from the sealing of the Magna Carta, and concerns are still prevalent. Despite this document curtailing the crown of many powers, some people oppose the monarch’s intervention in the nation’s affairs, or with their seemingly ludicrous wealth.
