the King can ask the Prime Minister anything

As the head of state, the King holds regular meetings with the Prime Minister, known as audiences. These meetings provide an opportunity for the King to discuss government matters, offer advice, and express his views. The King can ask questions about any aspect of government policy, national and international affairs, or other issues of concern.

The Prime Minister is expected to keep the King informed about government activities and seek his counsel. However, it’s important to note that while the King can ask questions and give advice, he does not have the power to make or enforce decisions; the role is more advisory and ceremonial.

This tradition reflects the constitutional framework of the United Kingdom, where the monarchy's powers are largely symbolic and the actual governance is carried out by elected officials.
