The Queen is the Head of State, meaning she is the figurehead of the country. The Queen can receive foreign guests, assist in diplomacy and make speeches on behalf of the nation, although the Prime Minister also has these jobs. The Prime Minister is the Head of Government and is in charge of the legislative and executive branches of government. He leads the ruling party and oversees the proposing, passing and implementing of new laws.

∙ 12y agoA Queen is a female monarch, and thus a Head of State who represents the sovereignty of her country. A Prime Minister is a senior government official whose role differs depending on the country. As a Prime Minister is not a Head of State, it is a constitutionally lower position. Often a Prime Minister is a Head of Government - meaning they are in charge of the general functioning of the executive - and, in this role, may have more actual power than the Head of State.
