Research Royal Assent.
Sure, the Royals want us to believe they are just ceremonial in power however i'm not fooled.
I think you have forgotten that she is the commander in chief of our military and ever soldier swears allegiance to her. That to me suggest she holds the ultimate power.
Parliament may propose laws, she has to ratify them.
In the event the people revolt it's soldiers who will enforce her will.

Have a look at that picture and re-evaluate your opinion.
I have personally met princess Anne and it was no joke. Special branch, sniffer dogs, cordons and every other security measure you can imagine. I was not allowed to offer a handshake unless it was in return. Or to speak unless spoken to.

I don't think you understand any of this and I'm afraid i have neither the time or the inclination to educate you.

I think her multiple palaces in prime locations throughout London, her reign being unquestioned for nearly 60 years speaks for itself.
That and the fact her face is printed on our currency, her family is literally above the law. Our revenue, customs, prison service, army all reference her in their name suggests your talking out of your ass.
Tell me, is the prime minister liable to criminal prosecution?
Yes he could be prosecuted for a criminal offence. Are you confused about "Parliamentary immunity"?

Can you cite any instance when royal assent has ever been refused?

Research the English Civil War.
Remind me, how did that work out for Charles 1st?

No, i'm not confused, you actually just fell into my trap.
You state the PM has more power than the Queen yet then state he's liable to criminal prosecution. Now ask yourself is the Queen beholden to the same laws?
I would argue if you are above the law then you care not who makes them.

I'm well aware of our history. But you surely can't be claiming any relevance between the social and political landscape of the mid 17th century to today?
Now, i'm sure we could find common ground, hell maybe even help each other and have a constructive debate but making blanket statements without backing them up, taking a condescending and patronising attitude and generally stinking of arrogance will not help us to that end.

No, because you don't choose to use your power, doesn't take it away.
The Royals are more savvy than in the past. Their image is carefully crafted and protected. To be honest i think they see politics as below them, which it is.
Remember, the Queen has the power to declare WAR without the approval of parliament.

Yeah right.
Has that ever happened?
No, it has not.
I wonder why?
Because it never has or will.

I can't be bothered anymore friend. I love the UK, I'm just saying if you wanted to pick a fight I'd suggest Boris Johnson rather than The Queen. She will mess you up!
