The UK is ruled by a gaggle of Eton toffs headed up by a scraggy-haired snake oil salesman, The Queen has absolutely no real power of any kind (other than being an exceptionally wealthy lady; but the Royals don't even leverage that power the way other wealthy people do).

Here is what she can (and can't do)....

9 things Queen Elizabeth II actually has the power to do

You may mostly see her giving to charity and rocking neon outfits, but the United Kingdom's reigning monarch does have some very real governmental power.

If you read the article though, all the things she "can" do either are purely ceremonial or have to ve agreed by the Government or haven't been done during her reign or for centuries.

I appreciate the monarchy in relation to the charity work, tourist money etc but they do not "rule" in any way shape or form now.

Give me a call the day a sitting monarch in a first world country like the UK actually exercises any of the "powers they have" and I'll call you back a couple of years later when we're living in a Republic and Buckingham Palace is floor to ceiling with tourists learning about how Britain used to have a Queen.

They have no real power. Zilch.

No, the Queen doesn't 'rule', and in any way she could rule, she chooses not to, very wisely.
However, the Queen has had 14 prime ministers meet with her on a weekly basis over the years of her reign when they discuss the kingdom’s most important political issues. No one else is allowed in the room, not even her private secretary, it must all remain completely confidential. She is publicly neutral politically, but no - one knows what goes on in that room in an ‘advisory’ role - and the only thing that has been revealed is that many of those Ministers have said her advice is sought and is invaluable. She does not have political power, obviously, but with her wealth of experience over 70 years, she does have influence.

And so it begins ..

: Rumours that Charles may walk back on his promise that Camilla would not be queen has riled Anne to no end, and she’s told both Charles and Camilla as much.

Anne has made it plain that Camilla will never be a true queen in the eyes of the British subjects.

Anne also wields a lot of power and has a lot of respect in that family, so you will find that the Wessexes, and maybe even the Cambridges, will back her on this.

What power does Anne have, along with Edward I’m sure she’s the forgotten child of the Queen

Lovely lady but no influence

If true, which I doubt, then Anne doesn’t feel that way on Diana’s account. It is no secret that she couldn’t stand Diana, unfortunately.

Anne is very blunt, she is the most down to earth of any of the royals. I don't think she has much influence, so it really doesnt matter what she thinks. Any royal coming after the queen is going to have a hard time because it will be the end of an era that can never be replicated. I think royalty post queen will be close to irrelevant to te majority of people

Maybe Anne is just a very principled lady with a strong moral compass ...

Has anyone in this family not had an affair? Trashy all round. No wonder our Harry couldn't wait to escape with Princess Meghan.

No affairs while married- The Queen, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward, Sophie Wessex, Prince William was reported to have had (unproven) about which he threatened legal action, Kate.
Meghan reportedly had an affair while married to Trevor, (unproven) :hee:
