She may not have any real power. But that is because her power is invested in the Prime Minister. All our cheques and balances are customary. We have no written constitution to protect us. Far too much power, both theoretical and actual is concentrated into the hands of the PM. This is a direct consequence of the royal prerogative.



But yeah. Crowns and castles are fun. So are princes and princesses. But we are not a fucking theme park ya know?
