Not knowing much about the government over there I have to ask does may have more power than the Queen?

The Queen is a FIGUREHEAD...she has absolutely NO power whatsoever! She and the other Royals are there for "show; they hand out "gongs" ( titles and medals ), do parades, entertain visiting dignitaries, the Queen ( or Kind, depending upon who is on the throne ) opens the season of Parliament,gives a televised speech at Christmas, open fetes, review the military, lay wreaths, and meaningless sign some documents which have come out of Parliament.

The Royals bring in the tourist money and that's why they are still kept around and also because it's a "charming" old custom to have them.

she does not.

everything over there is “her majestys” whatever.
her majestys parliament, for example.

try to get a law passed if the queen vetoes it.

“Not knowing much about the government over there I have to ask does may have more power than the Queen?”

I believe the queen and family are eye candy, with no actual power. Probably if she had her way Brexit would’ve been carried out. Didn’t she recently ask someone, “What has the EU ever done for us?”

And Wwth the Muslims taking over in the UK, I fully expect them to storm the royalty’s buildings and occupy them, annihilating all things royal, including the family.

My heritage is there, and it sickens me to see what’s become of that once-great country.
