英国女王是“临朝而不理政”，她的权力是接受磋商权、警告权和奖励权。此外，在礼仪上、形式上，女王如今仍是至高无上的，在国内、国际的国事活动中，享有荣誉和尊崇。
首相是英国实际掌权者，他能代表英国王室和民众，如中国习大大一样。此外，一般情况下，国会下议院的多数党党魁或执政联盟的首领自动成为首相人选，之后经过女王任命后正式成为首相。
女王和首相就是过去的帝王，只不过被分开了，女王继承了地位、荣誉，首相继承了权力。

The United Kingdom has a long and interesting history to explore, which can help you understand much more about the country and its traditions. Almost everywhere you go in the UK, you will be surrounded by evidence of four different groups of people who took over at different times throughout history. The first group, the Romans, came in the first century. Some of their great achievements included building towns and roads. Next, the Anglo-Saxons arrived in the fifth century. They introduced the beginnings of the English language, and changed the way people built houses.The Vikings came in the eighth century, left behind lots of new vocabulary, and also the names of many locations across the UK. The last group were the Normans. They conquered England after the well-konwn Battle of Hastings in the 11th century. They had castles built all around England, and made changes to the legal system. The Normans were French, so many French words slowly entered into the English language.
