what have monarchs done for our country?

 

After the death of his father, he became Henry VIII, king of England. He married six times, beheaded two of his wives and was the start  of the English Reformation. He changed  the country from a Catholic country to a protestant country. The early monarchs including, Henry VIII set the majority of the laws that we abide by, but nowadays the prime minister or president decide the laws. The Royalty now don’t make many decisions, like making new laws, whereas a few hundred years ago the royal family made all of the decisions.  Today the Queen and the royal family support and help many different charities.
