Throne of England

"Throne of England" also refers metonymically to the office of monarch,[1] and monarchy itself.

[3] The English Throne is one of the oldest continuing hereditary monarchies in the world.

In much the same sense as The Crown, the Throne of England becomes an abstract metonymic concept that represents the legal authority for the existence of the government.

[5] According to tradition, the roots of British monarchy extend into legends before the ninth-century king Alfred the Great.

Depending on context, the Throne of England can be construed as a metonymy, which is a rhetorical device for an allusion relying on proximity or correspondence, as for example referring to actions of the king or queen or as "actions of the throne."

This view of the throne in the Palace of Westminster shows the House of Lords in session in the early 19th century before Parliament was destroyed by fire in 1834.
