13. Royal Family Members Are Not Allowed to Hold Political Offices

Reason: The monarchy must always maintain its political neutrality.
Not at all.

The royal family is not allowed to take public office in order to preserve this division and the monarchy’s fundamental neutrality.

The monarchy must continue to exist outside of party politics because it is the embodiment of the nation. For example, the Queen is required by the Constitution to serve in government but cannot have a political stance. This is a core tenet of the constitutional monarchy system, and there are no exceptions.
