====Other immunities==== The monarch is immune to arrest in all cases; members of the [[royal household]] are immune from arrest in civil proceedings.<ref>{{Halsbury|12(1)|Crown and Royal Family|52}}</ref> No arrest can be made "in the monarch's presence", or within the "verges" of a royal palace. When a royal palace is used as a residence (regardless of whether the monarch is actually living there at the time), judicial processes cannot be executed within that palace.<ref>{{Halsbury|12(1)|Crown and Royal Family|53}}</ref> The monarch's goods cannot be taken under a [[writ of execution]], nor can [[distraint|distress]] be levied on land in their possession.
