==Official narrative==
[[Wikipedia]] confidently assures readers that in the UK at least "abolition of the royal prerogative is not on the immediate horizon".<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_prerogative_in_the_United_Kingdom#Reform</ref>
The royal prerogative has been called "a notoriously difficult concept to define adequately".
==Passports==
UK passports are issued under Royal prerogative rather than legislation, which meant that it was easy to require UK citizens to give their [[fingerprint]]s before getting a passport.<ref>http://www.theguardian.com/uk/2005/apr/12/idcards.immigrationpolicy</ref> Royal prerogative has been used as recently as 2005 to remove passports from British citizens on grounds of "public interest".<ref>https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/use-of-the-royal-prerogative-to-remove-passports-from-british-citizens/the-occasions-the-royal-prerogative-has-been-used-to-remove-passports-from-british-citizens-on-public-interest-grounds-from-1947-to-2005</ref>
