The Privy Council (PC), officially His Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, is a formal body of advisers to the sovereign of the United Kingdom of Delamaria. Its membership mainly comprises senior politicians who are existing or former members of either the House of Delegates or the Senate.
The Privy Council formally advises the sovereign on the exercise of the Royal Prerogative, and as a body corporate (as King-in-Council) it issues executive instruments known as Orders in Council which, among other powers, enact Acts of Parliament. The Council also holds the delegated authority to issue Orders of Council, mostly used to regulate certain public institutions. The Council advises the sovereign on the issuing of Royal Charters. Otherwise, the Privy Council's powers have now been largely replaced by its executive committee, the Cabinet of Delamaria.
