ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Privy seal

A privy seal is like a special sticker that important people use to show that they said something is okay. It's kind of like when your mommy or daddy signs a paper to show they agree with something important. In the olden times, important people like kings and queens used wax to make their seal, but now they use a stamp. When someone important puts their privy seal on a document, it means they have read it and they think it's okay. So, it's kind of like a stamp of approval!
