король не несёт ответственности (за политику кабинета при конституционной монархии)

That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English Constitution. (Sir W. Blackstone, ‘Commentaries on the Laws of England’, HBQ) — Король не несет ответственности за политику кабинета. Это важнейший, неотъемлемый принцип английской конституции.

2) «короли не ошибаются», высокопоставленному лицу всё сходит с рук, начальству всё дозволено

Doubtless the very famous and the exceedingly high-placed have always lived in glasshouses; and if, indeed, the king can do no wrong, what harm in mentioning his friendships with opera singers? (Kenk) — Знаменитости и люди высокопоставленные живут, как правило, на виду. что ж, «королям все дозволено». Какая беда, если будут говорить о его дружбе с оперными певицами?
