The responsibilities and duties of the British monarch revolve around a few key ideas about the monarch:* The British monarch is head of state * The British monarch is, more unofficially, head of nation * The British monarch is the 'fount of honour'In the first idea, the duties of the monarch as head of state essentially require her to receive diplomats, perform state visits to other countries, host state visits to our country, to read all legislation put through parliament and assent to it (unless the monarch feels that it is fundamentally wrong and the British people wouldn't stand for it), to run the monarchy as an institution, to read all state papers about how the government is working, occasionally to perform ceremonial functions like the State Opening of Parliament and to advise and warn the prime minister.Thanks to the iconic status of the monarchy as a symbol of Britain, almost a brand, the Queen's presence on the world stage is well-known and well regarded. This adds to the 'PR value' of a state visit. Also, the long reigns of monarchs also assist the monarch in the role of discussing issues with the prime minister and advising him or her, since Queen Elizabeth II has lived through eleven governments, at least three recessions, four wars, etc. and has plenty of experience to give.With the second idea, the monarch must represent the nation to others and itself, and so the monarch performs visits across the country to listen to concerns, to meet people, to visit schools, companies, charities, societies, to open buildings, to promote charities: essentially to be seen and to let people know that the monarch is working as well as to give the maximum possible number of people the chance to meet the monarch. This is necessary because the monarch, as a ceremonial head of state, has few direct powers and to justify her position she must keep the emotional connection between the Britons and the monarchy strong; the way that monarchs have found works best is to keep active and keep visible, occasionally with as much pomp and circumstance as possible.Concerning the last idea, the monarchy has traditionally been the origin of rewards for those who have served the state, such as knighthoods, peerages and all the other sorts of honours. With the opening up of knighthoods to those outside government and the military, this became one of the big ceremonies for the monarchy. Knighthoods now go to anyone who is deemed to be deserving, along with many other honours, and the monarchy performs around 25 investitures annually to reward citizens who have performed good deeds, have done good works or created revolutionary inventions or theories, or simply those who have excelled in a particular career. The monarch, whether it be a King or Queen, is not the only one who does these duties, but is the only one who does these duties because of his/her place in the constitution. The family of the monarch often helps out, as can be seen by the current royal family: the Queen does most of the duties, but her husband Prince Philip (Duke of Edinburgh and Prince consort), her sister Princess Margaret, her son Prince Charles, her daughter Princess Anne and others all do some royal visits around the country to help with the duties of the monarchy.A king and queen are responsible for ensuring that the kingdom is safe from any outside threats. They are also responsible for coming up with solutions to the security and economy of the kingdom.

They are the same. While a king reigns, it is the King's English. While a queen reigns, it is the Queen's English------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The monarch of England is sometimes a king and sometimes a queen (at the present time, March 2013, it is Queen Elizabeth II) but the English language does not change; it is the monarch's English. We just use different terms to reflect the identity of the reigning monarch.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The expression "the queen's English" refers to the reigning British monarch. Since English currently has a queen, and has for almost 60 years, the proper expression is "the queen's English."-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I suppose when Charles becomes king, the expression might change to "the king's English."----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ACTUALLY, the expression "The King's English" refers to a title of a book written by the Fowler brothers in 1906, which deals with the English language, its pronunciation, etc. A book's title does not change just because a monarch changes. Therefore, it is "The King's English", regardless of whether the current monarch is male or female.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A monarch reigns from the moment of their accession to the throne until they abdicate, or are overthrown in a revolution or die. Thus Henry VIII reigned no more and no less than any other monarch.
