She was right.
The British Monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II, is the Head of State of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and Her Other Realms and Territories.
The Queen takes little direct part in government, and must remain strictly neutral in political affairs. However, the legal authority known as the Crown remains the source of the executive power used by the Government.
These powers are known as Royal Prerogative and can be used for a vast number of things, such as the issue or withdrawal of passports, to the dismissal of the Prime Minister or even the Declaration of War. The powers are delegated from the Monarch personally, in the name of the Crown, and can be handed to various ministers, or other Officers of the Crown, and can purposely bypass the consent of Parliament.
The head of Her Majesty’s Government, the Prime Minister, also has weekly meetings with the monarch, where she may express her feelings, warn, or advise the Prime Minister in the Government's work.
The Queen's Foreign power
The power to ratify and make treaties.
The power to declare war and Peace
The power to deploy the Armed Forces overseas
The power to recognize states
The power to credit and receive diplomats
Once again, don't confuse him with reality... he lives in never never land where the evil bogey man Bush is to blame for everything.
Peach is almost as retarded as you are.
The monarchy has a significant constitutional presence in these and other areas, but very limited power, because the prerogative is nowadays in the hands of the prime minister and other ministers or other government officials.
Did I make it big enough for you, cracker?
