Thats nothing more than a ceremony. The Monarch is nothing but a figurehead for the Government. Proof of that can be seen in the way that the Monarch never actually writes the speech (which is called the "Queen's/King's Speech") that marks the beginning of a new session in Parliament, but rather his/her government does it for her.
