  • In politics, a figurehead, is a person who holds an important title or office yet executes little actual power, most commonly limited by convention rather than law. The metaphor derives from the carved figurehead at the prow of a sailing ship. Common figureheads include Queen Elizabeth II's role as Head of the Commonwealth, she has an important office title, but no power over the nations in which she is not head of state.
