Great Britain is also formed by some isles, that are: Ulster and Eire, they are the south and

The head of state in the Uk is the monarch, who nowadays we know as King Charles III.
He became king after his mother's passing,in the 8th of September 2022 in Balmoral
Castle, along with his wife Camilla who is now named Queen Camilla Consort.
Going back to back when Charles was not king, we can find Queen Elizabeth II with Price
Philip Consort by her side.
Queen Elizabeth is also known for her long time being UK 's monarch.
Before Queen Elizabeth we find her father,King George VI, who was originally not meant
to be king, but after his brother abdicated to marry an American woman (which was
against royal law) he became king.
When Charles will pass the next in line is William, his eldest, while Henry (or as everyone
calls him,Harry) will be the fifth in line after William's childrens.
The royal's surname is Windsor, but it's like that since WWWI, when they changed it
because the old one was a German surname and at the time Germany was the enemy.
The UK is both a constitutional monarchy and a parliamentary democracy.
The Monarch is the head of the State, the Prime Minister is the political
leader of the UK and leads the government. The British Parliament is
made up of three branches: the House of Commons, the House of Lords
and the Sovereign, currently Queen Elizabeth II, the formal and symbolic
head of State.
The House of Commons is an assembly of 650 MPs (Members of
Parliament) elected by the people in general elections every 5 years.The
House of Commons meets in the Palace of Westminster. This is the body
which has real power: it takes decisions financial bills and proposes new
taxes. The Members of the Commons debate the big political issues of the
day and proposals for new laws.
The House of Lords is made of about one thousand non-elected members
who come from the aristocracy, so they are archbishops and bishops, or
from the politics, so they are peers and peeresses. The House of Lords also
meets in the Palace of Westminster and it has limited powers.
The two largest parties are the Conservative Party and the Labour Party,
also known as New Labour. The third largest party is the Liberal
Democrats.
