Le Royaume-Uni est une monarchie constitutionnelle : le roi est chef de l'État, mais c'est le gouvernement élu qui décide ; on dit que le monarque « règne mais ne gouverne pas ». Charles III est devenu roi en 2022 et a été couronné en mai 2023. Ses partisans défendent la tradition, l'unité nationale, le tourisme et le rôle diplomatique de la famille royale. Ses opposants, les républicains, critiquent son coût, les privilèges héréditaires et le manque de démocratie. Les sondages montrent que les jeunes y sont moins attachés que leurs aînés. Pour comparer : whereas, while, on the other hand.
