“Unveiling the Bizarre: The Secretive Duties and Unwritten Rules of the British Royal Family!”
There is one exception here: Royals cannot accept gifts from businesses or organizations, and they cannot take anything over £150. Essentially, Royals cannot accept gifts if they are expected to do something in return.
The Queen Manages Only Part Of The Commonwealth
The Commonwealth of Nations is a collection of 54 member states, most of which used to be territories of the British Empire. Queen Elizabeth is in charge of the Commonwealth. She personally heads 16 member states, including Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
Commonwealth states operate independently of the Queen. However, she still has responsibilities such as appointing ministers and ambassadors. She will also personally meet with these ambassadors to unify and advise them on international matters.
They Host International Leaders
One of the Royal family’s duties is to host government leaders from around the world. These leaders visit Buckingham Palace, and the Royals themselves will greet and sometimes eat with them.
For instance, when President Joe Biden entered office in January 2021, Queen Elizabeth immediately arranged to meet him and members of the Group of Seven in June. Another example is in 2019 when the Queen hosted a reception for NATO leaders in Buckingham Palace. She met all of them personally.
