Conclusion

Conclusion. I can t but mentioned, that in Britain the Queen is the Head of State, but in fact she doesn t rule the country as she has no power. The Queen is a symbol of the country history and its traditions. She is very rich. She travels about the United Kingdom, meets different people and visits schools, hospitals and other special places. So do all the members of the Royal family the Queen s husband, her son Prince Charles, Queen s daughters Princess Anna and Princess Margaret. At the beginning of the century many countries all over the world were ruled by Britain.

All of them were included into the British Empire and were its colonies. India, Pakistan, Ceylon, for example, were among them. Now these countries are independent states. But in 1949 Britain and the former colonies founded the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth includes many countries such as Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand.

The real power in the country belongs to the British Parliament and to the British Government.
