Best Answer

Historically, the British Sovereign's private council. Once powerful, the Privy Council has long ceased to be an active body, having lost most of its judicial and political functions since the middle of the 17th century. This atrophy was a result of the decline of the Sovereign's responsibility for political decisions as power moved from the monarch to the prime minister and the cabinet. In modern times, meetings of the Privy Council are held for the making of formal decisions.

The Privy Council is descended from the Curia Regis.
