Body of advisers to the sovereign of the Kingdom of England
This article is about the former Privy Council of the Kingdom of England. For the successor Privy Council, see Privy Council (United Kingdom).
The Privy Council of England, also known as His (or Her) Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council (Latin: concilium familiare, concilium privatum et assiduum[1][2]), was a body of advisers to the sovereign of the Kingdom of England. Its members were often senior members of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, together with leading churchmen, judges, diplomats and military leaders.
The Privy Council of England was a powerful institution, advising the sovereign on the exercise of the royal prerogative and on the granting of royal charters. It issued executive orders known as Orders in Council and also had judicial functions.
In 1708, the Privy Council of England was abolished and replaced by the Privy Council of Great Britain.
