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!
You seem confused.
I thought you were going for her maj being boss but off you go.
I do think that Prince Andrew has a lot to answer for...

You are the one that needs some tangible evidence and/or proof.
So far you have nothing but childish insults.
This appeal hearing was the latest instalment in the long-running “Palace letters” case which I initiated in the federal court two years ago, seeking the release of secret letters between the Queen and the governor general relating to Kerr’s dismissal of the Whitlam government. These historic letters, critical to our understanding of the dismissal, are held by our National Archives in Canberra where they are kept hidden from us under the strict, and potentially indefinite, embargo of the Queen. The Palace letters are considered by Archives as personal rather than Commonwealth records, enabling Kerr to place his own conditions for access on them and avoiding the usual requirements for public access to the records of the National Archives.
Glimpses of the baroque workings of the Palace, Government House and of the remnant colonial ties between Britain and Australia, could be seen through the prism of the Palace letters. As an autonomous post-colonial nation,we assume that the Queen exercises no residual monarchical power over our system of governance, much less over records held by our National Archives. This case and these letters, however, show that this assumption is misplaced.

It was not done just for the hell of it there was a constitutional crisis.
Anyway, we are talking about the UK here.
If our colonies cant sort themselves out then this sort of thing was inevitable.

The Queen does not own Buck House. She occupies it.
Its owned by the Crown Estate. Before you claim its the same thing please do some research. It isn't.
