Oh, bah.

I told you already - the Queen couldn't take a lollipop from a baby, let alone anybody's rights.

The British royals haven't had any power to speak of since well before the days of Queen Victoria. She tried to exercise her right to choose her own Ladies of the Wardrobe, and all hell broke loose. In fact, I think you have to go back to before the 1688 Revolution to find any English king who subscribed to the sort of Divine Right thinking in Eikon Basilike. (And a lot of good it did Charles I, anyhow.)

You are attacking a straw man of British sovereignty that hasn't been around for at least 300 years.

I don’t know about taking a lolly from a baby but they sure suck up a lot of resources.
