{{Main|Royal Consent}}

King's Consent and Prince's Consent are distinct from royal assent. They are required only for bills affecting the [[royal prerogative]] and the personal property and "personal interests" of the monarch, and are granted before parliament has debated or voted to pass a bill. They are internal parliamentary rules of procedure that could, in principle, be dispensed with by Parliament. Consent is always granted on the advice of the government; the monarch never takes the decision to withhold consent.
