True. But - in reality - the Queen will only do something that Parliament would approve of. So while she has all these powers, she is quite constrained in their actual use.
For example, the Queen can dismiss a Prime Minister. But should she dismiss one who has great support in Parliament, there’d be hell to pay. In fact it could mean the end of the monarchy.
So as I see it, the Queen is pretty much a rubber-stamping figurehead. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Because she is also a check against a someone like Hitler rising to power in the UK.
Most people have no clue how much power the Queen has quietly wielded over 60+ years, almost always to the benefit of civilization. Now I don’t want to live under a monarch, even a constrained one, but to ignore the impact the Queen has had on the world as some (not you) do is just plain ignorant.
