The '''Royal Household of Belfras''' is royal officials and the supporting staff of the [[House of Dimitrios|Belfrasian royal family]] and primarily the [[Monarchy of Belfras|Sovereign.]] Each member of the royal family has their own separate household to support them, although only the sovereigns household is referred to as the "Royal Household", with other members having their households named after themselves and the power to appoint people to their own households. Typically the household of the Hereditary Prince is selected by both the sovereign and the Hereditary Prince to groom a competent structure should the monarch die, as the household of the Sovereign Prince will often be the prime candidates for the new positions within the royal household on succesion.
The '''Narwal'''-class nuclear powered attack submarine in service with the [[Velikoslavian Navy]]. Designed to achieve goals set forth by the admiralty for a competent, long-range submarine capable of operating alone in hostile waters in order to achieve a complicated set of objectives. The first Narwal-class submarine, NAME, was launched in 2018 and has been in service since 2020.


The primary responsibility of the royal household is to coordinate and support the upkeep and wellbeing of the royal family, the monarch, and the possessions held by the royal household, such as property and vehicles. The various departments within the household exist to carry out this responsibility effectively with the appointed Lord Steward being the highest position within the household and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the separate departments.

The '''Great Board of the Household''' is the board of officials belonging to the royal household. The board is regularly sat by the great officers of the household: The Lord Steward, Lord Chamberlain, Vice Chamberlain, Treasurer of the Household, Master of the Horse, and the Commander of the Guard. These meetings are also often sat by appointees made by the sovereign for a variety of different purposes, such as the appointment of his wife Beata of Callatis in 1982. The meetings held by the Great Board are typically to discuss and oversee the regular day-to-day running of the household and to execute directives given to them by the sovereign and the royal family. It also sometimes sits as a court on offenses committed within Questros Palace.

== Office of the Lord Steward ==
[[Category:Belfras Sandbox]]
 
The '''Lord Steward''' is the most senior official in the royal household and oversees its business, including liaising with other senior officers of the household, chairing the Great Board of the Household and advising the Sovereign in appointment of senior household officials. His office is responsible for coordinating the activities of the other offices and being the primary link of communication between the Sovereign and the other offices except for the Private Secretary, who a part of the royal entourage.
 
The Lord Steward is responsible for ceremonial duties of the crown, organising activities including state visits, investitures, parties and balls, and organising the ceremonies of the Sovereign in their capacity as head of state, chief executive, and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. Weddings and funerals of the royal family are already organised with the assistance of the Lord Steward. During these ceremonies the Lord Steward carries symbols that represent his office. One of these symbols, a white staff, is considered the symbol of the royal household and when the household relocates between the royal sites the staff is required to be in attendance. In the event of the death of the monarch the staff is broken over the grave to symbolise the breaking of the royal house.

== Office of the Guard ==
{{main|Royal Guard (Belfras)}}
 
The '''Commander of the Guard''' is a senior official responsible for running the day-to-day security operations of the monarch and the royal family. His office is responsible for the protection of the royal family and their properties and does so through two branches - The Royal Security Service, which provides immediate security to the royal family and the Royal Guard, which is an active military unit providing military security to the royal residences and for the Sovereign as needed.
 
=== Royal Security Service ===
 
The '''[[Royal Security Service (Belfras)|Royal Security Service]]''' is responsible for the royal family's immediate security. The RSS is led by a Colonel and staffed by hand chosen personnel from the national police and armed forces. It works closely with the [[National Police (Belfras)|National Police]]'s Protection Bureau and Special Operations Bureau to provide armed escorts during travel, providing uniformed security to royal residences, inspecting event areas and providing specialised weapons support such as snipers or tactical response units.
 
=== Royal Guard ===
 
The '''[[Royal Guard (Belfras)|Royal Guard]]''' is an independent regiment of the armed forces dedicated to the protection of the Sovereign Prince and members of the royal family. The primary function of the Royal Guard is providing military security for the Monarchy. In addition to it's primary role of protecting the royal family, the royal guard provides protection of foreign heads of state and government visiting Belfras and providing security to royal residences. The Royal Guard works hand-in-hand with the Royal Security Service and National Police which provides uniformed security. The Royal Guard, being an active military unit, do not have powers of arrest or jurisdiction to enforce the law. The Royal Guard also includes staff for the Households aircraft and seacraft.
 
== Grand Office of Medicine ==
 
== Royal Entourage to the Sovereign ==
 
[[File:Lukas Kerularios.jpg|150px|thumbnail|right|Lukas Kerularios, Private Secretary to the Sovereign since 1997]]
 
The '''Royal Entourage to the Sovereign''' is the exclusive permanent body tasked with seeing to the day-to-day needs of the Monarch and to support their functions as the head of state, chief executive, and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces. In the original structure of the Royal Household, the Lord Steward was personally responsible for the day-to-day running of the Royal Entourage but as the responsibilities of their office grew the necessity for devolution was undeniable. The Private Secretary to the Sovereign was, until this point, a position that dealt with communications from the Sovereign to other bodies and for the handling of the press.
 
The Private Secretary to the Sovereign today is the most senior role within the Royal Entourage and is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day running of activities within the Entourage, the upkeep of staff and the facilities serving the Sovereign and the organisation of staff dedicated to the Royal Entourage. The Master of the House, a Great Officer of the Royal Household, is responsible for the facilities and staff of the Royal Household and as such works closely with the Private Secretary to the Sovereign. While each of the royal residences have their own staff tasked with the day-to-day upkeep of the residence, facilities are available to accommodate the Royal Entourage upon their arrival with some members being superior to others, such as the Sovereigns Personal Chief taking charge of the kitchen upon arrival.
 
While the position of Private Secretary to the Sovereign is not listed as a Great Office, it is considered by many to be one of the most vital positions in the Royal Household, as it's responsibilities directly to the Sovereign, and potential consequences to mismanagement, are undeniable. The name of the position is officially the Private Secretary to the Sovereign, but is most commonly known as the Private Secretary to the Sovereign Prince. The current Private Secretary is Lukas Kerularios who has held the position since 1997, having served as the undersecretary of the wages prior to assuming the position.
 
The Royal Entourage is organised into several bodies with the Private Secretary having his own office and subordinates to smoothen the running of business.
 
* '''Office of the Private Secretary''' is the support structure to the Private Secretary, consisting of the undersecretaries responsible for important matters to the Royal Entourage. One position, the undersecretary of the wages, is responsible for the wages of staff within the Royal Entourage and a part of their duty is to ensure funds are available from the Royal Mint so that the Royal Entourage may execute directives issued by the sovereign. Another position, the undersecretary of the baggage is responsible for arranging and overseeing the logistics in moving the Royal Entourage either abroad on foreign visits or wherever the Sovereign wishes to go.
 
* '''Sovereigns Personal Chef''' is a position held by a trusted professional chef and his kitchen staff that is responsible for preparing the food for the monarch on a day-to-day basis. Subordinates to the Sovereigns Personal Chef include Sous Chefs, cooks and porters. The position of Chief Porter exists within these ranks and is responsible for the foodstuffs and ingredients. The Chief Porter and Sovereigns Personal Chef meet regularly to update the ingredients and recommend the Crown Insignia of Approval to producers if deemed high quality and beyond satisfactory.
 
* The '''Chief Medical Officer to the Sovereign''' is a position held by the second most senior medical official in the Royal Households' Grand Office of Medicine and is responsible for the running of the Sovereigns medical staff. The position is always held by a senior medical official of very good standing in the medical community. It is his responsibility to recommend for appointment surgeons, physicians and medical professionals to see to the needs of the sovereign and, at their request, other members of the royal family or other peoples directed by the Sovereign.
 
* '''Office of the Sovereigns Security''' is a division of the [[Royal Security Service (Belfras)|Royal Security Service]] permanently placed within the Royal Entourage and is directly responsible for the safety of the Belfrasian Sovereign. The Private Secretary is the titular head of this office, but the division is officially run by the RSS and is not responsible to the Private Secretary.
 
== Royal properties and assets ==
 
=== Properties ===
 
The sovereign's official residence in Thessalona is Questros Palace. The palace is the site of most state banquets, investitures, royal christenings and other formal ceremonies. Questros Palace was originally created for visits by the Latium Imperial Family before independence. The ancestral home of the royal family, Palatium Mondris, is another official residence with the archipelago-based palace being used frequently by the family and friends. On the west coast another residence of the family is The Sedis, an estate with it's own vineyard gifted to the family in the 1920s. In 2002 the family acquired Santosso Island in the Kayamucan to build a residence which was completeed in 2016. Private residences such as apartments are not classified as part of the royal household. Historically the Questros Palace was controlled by the Latium Imperial Family when the country was a colony, with the Dimitrios family controlling Palatium Mondris as the dukes and duchesses of Mondria.

The Royal Household controls and operates a large fleet of vehicles for official usage and for regular day-to-day business needs. The royal family are able to utilise the vehicles as needed and staff members are often given a pool of unmarked vehicles in order to carry out their duties, with members of the Royal Security Service being given unmarked police versions of the vehicles when applicable for emergency lights. Vehicles of the fleet used by members of the royal family are adorned with the national flag and coat of arms when in an official capacity but are left unmarked when used in a day-to-day function.
