==Styles and privileges==
{{Hatnote|"Primate of England" redirects here.}}
The archbishop of York is an ex officio member of the House of Lords and is styled Primate of England (whereas the archbishop of Canterbury is the Primate of All England); he is referred to as "The Most Reverend", retired archbishops are styled as "The Right Reverend". As archbishops are, by convention, appointed to the [[Privy Council of the United Kingdom|Privy Council]] they may, therefore, also use the style of "[[The Right Honourable]]" for life (unless they are later removed from the council). In debates in the House of Lords, the archbishop is referred to as "The Most Reverend Primate, the Archbishop of York". "The Right Honourable" is not used in this instance. He may also be formally addressed as "Your Grace"—or, more often these days, simply as "archbishop", or "Father".
The surname of the archbishop of York is not always used in formal documents; often only the first name and see are mentioned. The archbishop is legally entitled to sign his name as "Ebor" (from the [[Latin]] for York). The right to use a title as a legal signature is only permitted to bishops, [[peers of the Realm]] and peers by courtesy.{{citation needed|date=February 2021}} The current archbishop of York usually signs as "''+Stephen Ebor''".
In the [[Order of precedence in England and Wales|English and Welsh order of precedence]], the archbishop of York is ranked above all individuals in the realm, with the exception of the sovereign and members of the [[British Royal Family|royal family]], the archbishop of Canterbury and the [[Lord Chandellor]].<ref>''[[Whitaker's Almanack]]'', 2008 – (Precedence, England and Wales)</ref> Immediately below him is the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom|Prime Minister]] and then the [[Lord President of the Council]].
