The Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Victoria and the Victorian Empire is the political leader of Victoria and her Empire and the Head of Her Majesty's Government. The Prime Minister and Privy Council (consisting of all Secretaries of State, who are government department heads) are collectively accountable for their policies and actions to the Sovereign, the House of Lords, and to the citizens of the Victorian Empire. The current Prime Minister, Guido Zambelis, was appointed on 6 August 2010.

By tradition, before a new Prime Minister can enter 11 Carnegie Street for the first time as its occupant, they are required to announce to the Empire that they have bathed on the shores of Amundsen Bay, the place where Victoria I and her entourage landed on Micras for the first time. This is usually done by saying words to the effect of:
"Her Majesty the Queen has commanded that I bathe on the shores of Amundsen Bay, become First Lord and form a government. I have accepted."
The Prime Minister is made a Privy Counsellor as a result of taking office and thus entitled to the appellation "The Right Honourable". Membership of the Council is retained only for as long as he holds the position of Prime Minister. It is the perogative of Her Majesty to allow former Prime Ministers to continue in the Privy Council should it please her to do so.
While in office, the Prime Minister officially resides at 11 Carnegie Street in Riego and is also entitled to use the country house of White Cottage in Middleton.
Upon retirement, the Sovereign may grant a Prime Minister some honour or dignity. The honour commonly, but not invariably, bestowed is membership of the Kingdom's most senior order of chivalry, the Order of Saint Andrew. The practice of creating retired Prime Ministers Knights of the Saint Andrew is fairly sparce. Out of the 27 Prime Ministers since 1891, only 8 have been created Knights. The first being Sir Alasdair MacKenzie in 1923 and the last Sir Jack Beatie in 2009. On the retirement of a Prime Minister who is Valencian, it is likely that the primarily Valencian honour of the Order of the Valencian Star will be used instead of the Order of Saint Andrew, which is generally regarded as a Victorian honour.
As Prime Ministers are appointed from the House of Lords and as such are already Dukes of the Realm, no peerages are given to a Prime Minister for the office he holds.
The official title of a Prime Minister is First Lord of The Realm and Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Victoria and the Victorian Empire. This dates back to 2010 when the House of Lords was formed in Victoria. Membership of the House of Lords is a prerequisite to holding the Office of Prime Minister, hence the former title of First Lord of the Realm.
