POLITICAL SYMBOLS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM

 The United Kingdom is a parliamentary monarchy, which means that there is a king or queen who is the head of the state, but a great part of the power belongs to the parliament and the government, this forms a kind of democracy, with the prime minister as the head of it. The tree branches of the power which are commonly found in democratic governments, are in this system too, the legislative power is formed by the parliament, the executive power by the government and the judicial power is formed by the same organisms as in another countries.

If we are talking about political symbols, the most important one is the royal family of the UK, here are some information about them.

• Most of the Brits agree with the existence of the royal family, according to a poll, 7 of each 10 Brits like the concept of a royal family (in my opinion the royal shouldn't exist).
• The Queen and his husband have 8 mansions, they move to another depending on the situation and because there are a lot of people outside the mansions always. The 8 palaces are:
• Buckingham palace
• Windsor castle
• Palace of Holyrood house
• Hillsborough castle
• Sandringham house
• Castillo de Balmoral
• Craigowan lodge
• Delnadamph lodge

• There are many stupid rules in the UK related to the royal family, here is some of the most stupid ones:
• Every white swan in the UK belongs to the queen and it either hunting or eating swans are illegal activities, except for the royal family.
• Every stranded whale belongs to the queen.
• The queen's husband is only the king if he was a prince, but if he has another title, he won't be able to have the title of king never.

• The official members of the royal family can be only:
• The king or queen
• Husband or wife of the monarch
• Widowed consorts
• Monarch's children and their consorts
• Monarch's grandchildren
• Monarch's great-grandchildren, only count the ones that are children of the oldest son of the prince of Wales.

• Today, the monarch is Queen Elizabeth II and her husband is the prince Philip, duke of Edinburgh
• The head of the parliament is the Prime Minister, since 2019 the charge has been occupied by Boris Johnson.
  
  
  
  
  

• And finally, the British Royal Family isn't British! The queen has German ascendancy and her husband has Greek and Dutch ascendancy.
