This article refers to the Commonwealth's concept of the monarchy's legal authority. For the Swedish band, see
The Crown (band).Throughout the
Commonwealth realms The Crown is an abstract
metonymic concept which represents the legal authority for the existence of any government. It evolved naturally as a separation of the literal crown and property of the nation-state from the person and personal property of the monarch.Similar concepts of "The Crown" also operate in other constitutional monarchies, in which (like the
United Kingdom) the monarch is
Head of State, but the actual governing of the nation is conducted according to the wishes of a democratically elected national legislature. The
Holy Crown of
Hungary is an example that similar concepts (although in symbolic rather than legal contexts) can survive even in a
republic.
