Royal Family plays key role in UK transfer of political power in upcoming general election

Sky News host Caroline Di Russo says the Royal Family’s part in the transfer of political power in the dissolving of UK parliament shows their important “purpose”. “Parliament is over until a new government is formed after the general election, parliament itself will be formally dissolved next Thursday,” Ms Di Russo said. “The calling of an election is a really good time for royal observers to reflect … we are all reminded of the purpose of the royal family, its place in the cultural and political landscape of the United Kingdom … the seamlessness in the transfer of political power.”
