   A bill authorizing Britain to start its exit from the European Union   
   has received royal assent and is now law.   
      
   House of Commons Speaker John Bercow announced Thursday that the European   
   Union (Notification of Withdrawal) Bill has received the assent of Queen   
   Elizabeth II.   
      
   The bill was passed by Parliament on Monday.   
      
   Royal assent is a formality — no monarch has refused to sign a bill for more   
   than 300 years   
      
   It means that Prime Minister Theresa May is now free to invoke Article 50 of   
   the EU's key treaty, triggering two years of exit negotiations. She says she   
   will do that by March 31
