The monarchy of Belize (the Belizean monarchy) is a system of government in which a hereditary monarch is the sovereign of Belize, holding the position of head of state; the incumbent is Elizabeth II, officially called Queen of Belize, who has reigned since September 21, 1981. The heir apparent is Elizabeth's eldest son, Prince Charles, though the Queen is presently the only member of the Belizean Royal Family with any constitutional role.
