      1:55 King Charles doesn't *GOVERN* any state. He is Head of State. Those are not the same thing.
      2:50 King Charles has a driver's license and passed his driving test at age 16. He doesn't need a license NOW that he is the monarch. He needed one before he became monarch. Surely the video makers aren't THAT fvcking stupid?!
      5:02 He is NOT "immune from all legal proceedings". He is immune from proceedings in his capacity as an individual. The *office* of the Crown is still liable to charge and prosecution.
      6:38 Appointing a PM. Simply wrong. The King CAN appoint whomever he wants from the elected members of parliament. It is simply convention (and has not always been followed) to appoint the member selected by the majority party.
      9:40 The House of Lords rejects proposed bills All The Fvcking Time. Around 10% of all bills are rejected at least once by Lords.

      Scotland is set to have another plebiscite soon on complete independence from England. They absolutely can secede from the United Kingdom and end it, since this is dependent on the unification of Scotland and England. Whether they elect to have the House of Windsor-Mountbatten as their head of State is up for grabs. Northern Ireland can choose to secede and join the Irish Republic. Wales seems to be the one nation least likely to vote for secession. Overseas within the Commonwealth, the Caribbean Nations, especially in Jamaica are seemingly likely to put a President in as head of State. The Government of Australia is in firm control of Republicans at the moment. Canadians seem less than thrilled now keeping the British Monarch as head of State. I do not see due to his quirkiness of personality and temperament Charles being able to hold all the different consistent parts of the realm together. He is a throwback to the Hanoverians and people will see this as time goes on. He does not seem to have inherited his Mothers sense of discretion, wisdom, and timing, nor her placid temperament.

More accurately, as Duke of York he learned to drive before his elder brother did but technically his brother was the first monarch to have driven while a monarch. George VI insisted upon only driving UK manufactured cars whereas Edward VII insisted on driving Mercedes's almost exclusively. Their Dad preferred Rolls and Bentley but never actually learned to drive one. Edward VII did drive as I said but like his Dad, he preferred to be driven. Their grandfather, Edward VII was the first British Monarch to ride in an automobile but never learned to drive. And of course Victoria, who died in 1901, never rode in a car though they certainly existed before her passing. I heard a story of how she had witnessed an automobile spooking a horse and so she considered them to be dangerous. Edward VIi also considered them to be dangerous at first but changed his mind later on.

George VI would die in 1952 while his widow survived as the Queen Mother until her death at age 101 in 2002!

    They only want you to believe they aren't the true power because it takes heat off of them. Rest assured, no politician in Great Britain has more power than The Royal Family/King.
    At the end of the day, they control the military. Whoever controls the military has the power. Plain and simple. Any "powers" given to Parliament in recent times, believe me, are merely symbolic and simply only on-paper, but they all know who really has final say.....The Crown.

    A surprising omission here is the Crown Privilege, whereby the Sovereign can withhold information from courts, or anyone else. The Sovereign also has access to intelligence information, which the Government cannot keep from him/her.
    In practice it is not known how much GCHQ/MI6 skullduggery is concealed by the intelligence community, but the power of such privilege is certainly greater than many of the ceremonial powers like the never-invoked denial of Royal Assent.

    Correction, the Prime Minister is not chosen based on the party that won a majority of seats in Parliament, it is based on the party that won a plurality of seats, i.e. the party that more seats than any other, it does not need to hold a majority of the seats. As well, parties can form a coalition to combine for a plurality.

    He can choose his own name. Nobody in the royal family can marry anyone without his permission. He has final say over the names of royal family members. In other words, anyone who is an HRH or the child of an HRH and anyone who is a non HRH sibling of the monarch needs the monarch's permission to give a particular name to their newborn child. Likewise no one in the above categories can change their name without the monarch's permission. He can wear the uniform of an officer of any branch of the military. He can visit any military institution, station, fort etc and any vessel. He can talk to any government employee he wants to and they can't refuse. He can order the creation of a new medal for the military and he can grant it to any member of the military he chooses. He can access any top secret document he wants to.
    The monarch can only abdicate if they have not yet had a coronation. Once crowned the monarch cannot legally abdicate. He could declare himself abdicated but the government is banned from recognizing anyone else as monarch until he dies. There have been a handful of exceptions but they have been forced to abdicate under threat of death. In fact more monarchs have been executed than have legally abdicated. The part of the coronation ceremony that excludes legal abdication as a possibility is the anointment. British monarchs are the only ones that are anointed. The anointment basically means that only God can unmake the monarch. In theory, a monarch can choose not to be anointed. This might be an indication they intend to abdicate at some point. Also in theory the government could retroactively not recognize this aspect of the coronation as legitimate. The government could also change the laws effectively deposing the monarch and declare itself a republic or declare an interregnum (space between kings) during which time the country is a de facto republic such as happened with the first Charles and a fellow named Cromwell. The monarch could be declared unable to rule and a regent would be appointed though today they have a regency council who would collectively rule in his stead or they could choose someone (likely the prince of Wales) to be the regent. Charles could request that if he felt it was time to retire. At that point all the powers of king would be bestowed upon the regent. He can turn anyone into a royal or noble that he chooses and he can take those statuses away any time he chooses. Charles is believed to be planning to reduce the number of HRH's on the roster.

    You incorrectly used the word persecute when you should have prosecute. King Charles is immune from prosecution, not persecution. Persecution - hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs. Prosecution - the institution and conducting of legal proceedings against someone in respect of a criminal charge. You can't charge His majesty with crime, but you can pick on him.

Real power, ones that can shape politics are limited to Inviting a representative of Parliament to form a Government in his name. It does not have to be the party elected to power, but to denying the Elected party the right to govern would be tantamount to political suicide. He has the right to dissolve Parliament but with the same result. He however has the Right to be consulted, the right to warn, and the right to encourage. He is also the titular head of the Armed Forces. These are the only meaningful prerogatives the Monarch in Britain has. Time will tell whether Charles remains within these legal boundaries. His right as Moderator of the Church of England does not even carry over into the wider Anglican Communion.

    Of course none others can determine such said direness but for the sovereign!
    Also, as cutting directly to the chase on this, the Sovereign is not above the law but rather, IS the Law per se, as intercessor posed between God Almighty and the sovereign's subjects. (These popularly believing themselves "citizens," such belief being but strictly nominal.)
