Approved by the Queen, who is the head of the Anglican Church...

Royal assent does not imply personal approval. The monarch is apolitical, and constitutionally required to give assent to laws passed by Parliament.

Assuming she objects, the Queen probably made that known to the prime minister prior to the bill being read in Parliament. She has the right to advise him. But once it passes the legislature and the House of Lords, she has no further say.
