"Privy Councillor" redirects here. For the horse, see Privy Councillor (horse).
A privy council is a body that advises the head of state of a state, typically, but not always, in the context of a monarchic government. The term "privy" (from French privé) signifies private or secret. Consequently, a privy council, more common in the past, existed as a group of a ruling monarch's most trusted court advisors. Its purpose was to consistently provide confidential advice on matters of state. Despite the abolition of monarchy, some privy councils remained operational, while others were individually disbanded, allowing the monarchical system to continue to exist without a secret crown council.
