Rules Queen Elizabeth Has To Follow

The rules Queen Elizabeth II has to follow in order to maintain her image and role in government are a big deal. Here are the most notable rules she has to follow.

Being a monarch has historically been a pretty tricky proposition. Sure, a queen or king may have plenty of power and a swanky palace, but the political ups and downs of a nation could mean that the royal family might get in hot water pretty quickly. After all, it was King Charles I's political maneuvering, including dissolving Parliament numerous times, that ultimately got him accused of treason. That in turn led to his head departing the rest of his body in 1649 via an executioner's ax.

Really, it's no wonder that the modern-day Queen Elizabeth II and her family have tried to stay above the political fray. As a result of their political distancing, the queen does not vote. In fact, it's a strongly held tradition, though there's no law formally keeping British royals from casting their vote. The queen also doesn't publicly express her political opinions, to the point where the weekly meetings between her and the prime minister are kept entirely private.
