It is not a bad idea to make the person who can order a nuclear weapons launch, bow or curtsey to someone else.

And, in fact, if she ever does that, the official order given by the Prime Minister is believed to be to 'enact Queen's Order One'.

(Queen's Order Two authorises the mobilisation of all British forces and civil entities for, if necessary, all out war and is reasonably public knowledge - the precise nature or existence of QO1 has never been officially acknowledged but something like it would be constitutionally necessary in a situation where the Prime Minister might have to make an instant decision and issue an unambiguous order. In essence, it would be a signed order from the Queen authorising whatever action the Prime Minister decided was necesssary that lies dormant to be activated at the Prime Minister's discretion).
