***BTW..what does a Queen do every day??***

They showed something on TV a few years ago that explained the Queen’s typical daily schedule. WHEW! It was back breaking.

Your President has a dual role of head of State and Head of the government administration our Queen is the head of State so if you think of the President’s State Duties then that is similar to her duties.

In addition she also officially opens Parliament and asks the leader of the party who gets the most seats in Parliament to form a new government. She reads and signs State papers in a similar way to the President does but she does not have the veto like your President does her role is purely ceremonial.

She also make visits in her role to various hospitals charity projects etc. She is also commander in chief of several of our service units. Other royals are commander in chief of other units. Hope this explains a bit.

This is a very precised explanation and I am sure royalist and constitutionalists would say I am slightly inaccurate in my explanation.
