THE PRIVY COUNCIL

His Imperial Majesty’s Privy Council is the body in which the Emperor is advised in all matters of state. The Privy Council is comprised of three Committees with varying roles, purposes and makeups. Its leader is the Lord President of the Privy Council, who directly oversees both the Advisory and Household Committee (unless delegated to another in an Acting status), and informally oversees the Executive Committee. The Lord President, directly appointed by His Imperial Majesty to serve at His pleasure, is currently Sir John Vasa, Prince of Kiev.

ADVISORY COMMITTEE

The Advisory Committee is the first and most senior committee of the Privy Council and consists of the most esteemed advisors of the Crown. Counsellors are most often inducted due to their civil positions in His Imperial Majesty’s realms, such as Governor-Generals, Prime Ministers, senior military and ecclesiastical positions and more. Its purpose is to advise the monarch on all necessary policy updates. During monthly meetings of the Advisory Committee, all Counsellors are required to prepare a report of a minimum of one page detailing their concerns, recommendations and advice.

The Executive Committee prepares policy changes through their powers as Ministers of the Imperial Government, of which the monarch agrees or disagrees with.
