The Alexandria-Prussia Office of the Royal Household is a collective and independent office that provides support to His Majesty the King of Alexandria-Prussia and other members of the Alexandrian-Prussian royal family. The office holds dual responsibilities, but its primary function is to provide aid and support to the King of Alexandria-Prussia in the exercise of his royal duties and prerogatives. These include his role as the head of state and Supreme Commander of the Alexandrian-Prussian Armed Forces, it also functions as the king’s executive office. The secondary role is to assist other members of the Royal Family who undertake public duties for His Majesty the King. Family members that part take in public duties have separate offices within the Office of the Royal Household.

The office is under the direct authority of the king, who personally selects the individual to aid him in his constitutional duties and assist with running the office. It is a constitutional institution as laid down in the Royal Reorganization Act of 1975. While the office is part of Alexandrian-Prussian government structure under the executive branch, it is not under the control or influence of any other central government institution. This ensure that the king has the independent means to perform all his state functions, as stated in the constitution. It also ensures that other members of the Royal Family get the assists needed to undertake there public duties.

The lesser royal family members that partake in public duties for His Majesty the King, offices are fully funded by the Wellington Trust through a mutual agreement. However, as part of the agreement the Royal Household of the King and all benefits for employees, (excluding salary), employed by the lessor offices are paid by Alexandrian-Prussian Central Government.

Unlikely other appointed Senior government officials under the executive branch the Royal Secretary of the Household doesn’t need to be confirmed by the House of Lords. The only authority to whom the Royal Secretary answers too is the king himself. However, the office itself is not exempt from being audited by the Inspector General or investigated by the Attorney General.

Both these offices can be held by professional, senior civil servants, or nobility.
