Just thinking out loud here, but wouldn’t another option be for the Queen to call for the repeal of the laws of 1688? I thought I heard rumblings in that direction some time ago.

I can’t see that Her Majesty would face much political opposition in that regard.

Well, for a start, it would cause trouble in Northern Ireland and secondly, the ‘Glorious Revolution’ is a defining moment in England’s history, roughly equivilent to 1776 in the US or 1789 in France.
It represented the final primacy of Parliament and Liberty over the King, and its a complete non-starter to suggest that the Queen would dare to imply that the Glorious Revolution should be rescinded.....
