Can the King and members of the royal family vote in elections in the UK?

Golden Data 4th of July News, according to The Washington Post, Thursday’s UK general election is the first since the accession of King Charles III. So, can the incumbent British monarch and senior members of the royal family vote in the election? In fact, they are allowed to vote, but they will not do so. Richard Fitzwilliams, a commentator for the British royal family, said that the British monarch and royal family members would choose to abstain from voting, ‘any other action would violate our unwritten constitutional provisions.’ Robert Hazell, a professor of government and constitution at University College London, also pointed out that ‘by convention’, including senior royal family members, ‘do not vote to maintain the political neutrality of the royal family.’ According to the official website of the British royal family, the monarch should ‘remain politically neutral in all matters’, although they also play a role in the elections. To hold a general election, the British Prime Minister must request the monarch to dissolve parliament, and once the election results are announced, the monarch will ask the new Prime Minister to form a government.
