Abstract :The concept and role of the Royal prerogative in the United Kingdom remain unclear and controversial. Particularly, prerogatives of Charles III, who was newly ascended to the throne, and notable cases such as R (Miller) v The Prime Minister have reignited discussions on the position of prerogatives. This article explains the concept, position, and functions of prerogatives to underscore their importance in the English legal system, contrary to claims that they are anachronistic and dysfunctional. To achieve this, the article explores traditional and contemporary definitions to comprehend the concept and then address the origin and evolution of prerogatives throughout history, examining the features they possess today because of these changes. This helps classifying them and addressing the limiting factors. Finally, the article demonstrates how ministers, and the monarch are prevented from violating the law when exercising prerogatives. Thus, it asserts the existence of prerogatives will endure within the UK constitution.
Keywords : The Royal prerogative, The personal prerogatives, The political prerogatives, The British Monarchy, The United Kingdom
