Royal Council

The Royal Council is a formal body of advisors to the Sovereign. Its membership mainly comprises some members of the Royal Family, most Officers of State and some Royal Court functionaries.
The Royal Council advises the Sovereign on the exercise of the Royal Prerogative, and corporately (as King-in-Council) issues executive instruments called Orders in Council. The Royal Council also advises the Sovereign on the issuing of Royal Charters.
== Royal Council Oath ==
Those invited by the King of Pyrus to become members of the Royal Council must swear the following oath before His Majesty:
You do swear by Almighty God to be a true and faithful Servant unto the King's Majesty, as one of His Majesty's Royal Council. You will not know or understand of any manner of thing to be attempted, done, or spoken against His Majesty's Person, Honour, Crown, or Dignity Royal, but you will let and withstand the same to the uttermost of your Power, and either cause it to be revealed to His Majesty Himself, or to such of His Royal Council as shall advertise His Majesty of the same. You will, in all things to be moved, treated, and debated in Council, faithfully and truly declare your Mind and Opinion, according to your Heart and Conscience; and will keep secret all Matters committed and revealed unto you, or that shall be treated of secretly in Council. And if any of the said Treaties or Counsels shall touch any of the Counsellors, you will not reveal it unto him, but will keep the same until such time as, by the Consent of His Majesty, or of the Council, Publication shall be made thereof. You will to your uttermost bear Faith and Allegiance unto the King's Majesty; and will assist and defend all Jurisdictions, Pre-eminences, and Authorities, granted to His Majesty, and annexed to the Crown by Acts of Parliament, or otherwise, against all Foreign Princes, Persons, Prelates, States, or Potentates. And generally in all things you will do as a faithful and true Servant ought to do to His Majesty. So help you God.
The initiation ceremony for newly appointed Royal Counsellors is held in private and requires kneeling on a stool before the sovereign and then kissing hands. The new Royal Counsellor will extend his or her right hand, palm upwards, and, taking the King's hand lightly, will kiss it with no more than a touch of the lips.
