Earlier in February, it was emerged that tens of new laws were sent to Prince Charles for his approval and opinion before being taken further, raising concerns that he had been intervening in the affairs of the Parliament on many occasions.

Whitehall papers also showed in January that at least 39 bills had been subject to the royal approval, with the British Queen and the Prince of Wales using their power to consent or block legislation proposed by the UK parliament in areas such as military authority, civil partnership, higher education, paternity pay and child maintenance.
