Le Roy le veult
Le Roy le veult (
Usage
The phrase is used to signify that the monarch has granted his or her royal assent to a bill in order to make it become law. It is used by the Clerk of the Parliaments in the House of Lords. It is only used after the Lord Chancellor, accompanied by the Lords Commissioners, has read out the letters patent for the bill. The Clerk of the Crown then reads out the short title of the bill and the Clerk of the Parliaments responds by saying the phrase towards the House of Commons at the bar of the House for each bill.[4][5] The phrase is also written on the paper of the bill to show that the monarch granted royal assent to the bill.[6]
Should royal assent be withheld, the expression Le Roy/La Reyne s'avisera, "The King/Queen will advise him/her self" (i.e., will take the bill under advisement), a paraphrase of the Law Latin euphemism Rex/Regina consideret ("The King/Queen will consider [the matter]"), would be used, though no British monarch has used this veto power since Queen Anne on the Scottish Militia Bill in 1708.[7]
