With a long record of environmental campaigning as the Prince of Wales, how will King Charles III’s accession to the throne translate to public policies?
This is because in the UK, “the ability to make and pass legislation resides with the elected parliament of the day,” explains Stephen Clear, lead lecturer in constitutional and administrative law at. The monarch does have to give royal assent to a bill before it can become law, but “this is considered a ‘rubber stamping’ formality with no real input from the monarch.” The convention is that the king or queen always approves laws passed by parliament—even if they don’t agree with them.
On the other hand, Clear believes the king “knows his approach must change, and that he must maintain the status quo” by being an uncontroversial figurehead who remains neutral. Indeed, as soon as he ascended to the throne, King Charles declared that his activities would shift. “My life will of course change as I take up my new responsibilities,” he said in his first address to the nation.
