This would involve a curtail- ment of the Royal prerogative, but where such a restriction is warranted by public policy the Crown imposes no obstacle to the desired change.
The Royal prerogative com- prises the residuum of rights and responsibilities which belong to the Crown. Put in homely long- age, the idea is that there should Just returned from England and remain available, after the dater- has played before her Majestymination of legal process, a power
