The Queen is the only person to have the power to appoint the elected Prime Minister for the UK.
As the Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II must remain neutral on any political matters.
Whilst having the right to vote – or stand – in any election, she still maintains her neutral stance.
Why is this? The Queen is responsible for appointing the Prime Minister after a general election or resignation.
She chooses the candidate with the most support from the House of Commons.
During Queen’s reign, there have been 14 British Prime Ministers and 14 US Presidents, 13 of whom she has met in person.
