Burrell affairとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Burrell affair was a scandal in 2002 which arose from a number of allegations about the behaviour of the British Royal Family and their servants. The scandal had constitutional implications for the United Kingdom, as the Queen is the head of state of a constitutional monarchy and is theoretically the embodiment of the state in all legal proceedings, and any involvement of a reigning monarch in a law court would be unprecedented. The only trial of a reigning monarch was that of Charles I, which occurred during a state of outright civil war.
