The monarch provides stability

Study note

The monarch gives the country stability and continuity. Governments and Prime Ministers change, but the monarch remains head of state. The monarch also represents the UK abroad, receiving foreign ambassadors and making state visits to support good relationships with other countries.

Memory tip: The monarch gives stability and represents the UK abroad, while governments come and go.
