Her Majesty's Privy Council (Dutch: Geheime Raad van Hare Majesteit), usually known simply as the Privy Council of Atmora, or simply as the Privy Council, is a formal body of advisers to the Sovereign of Atmora. Officially consists of members of the imperial family and Crown-appointed members generally having political, commercial, diplomatic or military experience. It was founded in 1812.

Certain judicial functions are also performed by the Empress-in-Council, although in practice its actual work of hearing and deciding upon cases is carried out day-to-day by the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (Dutch: Gerechtelijk Comité der Geheime Raad). The Judicial Committee consists of senior judges appointed as Raadsheren/Raadsvrouwen (literally, "Lords and Ladys of the Council") predominantly Justices of the Supreme Court of Atmora and senior judges.
