@departacus.departacus.1671 All in keeping with convention. Great Britain (the great removed because of EU membership) is a constitutional monarchy. (she is not a true Monarch)
https://dictionary.cambridge.org/.../constitutional-monarchyhttps://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/monarch
This means that the official head of the State is the monarch ( a king or a queen) but his or her powers are limited by the constitution. (unwritten) For years it has been Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
https://www.britannica.com/topic/head-of-state her role is ceremonial.
The Queen
(Her full title is Her Most Excellent Majesty Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith) Her surname (if she had any) would be Windsor. The Queen is only a formal and symbolic head of
State.https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/symbolichttps://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/formal
Her duties are, e.g,.- she holds receptions and State banquets, she visits various parts of Britain every year, she gives audiences to the Prime Minister and other important persons, she pays state visits and undertakes tours in other countries of the Commonwealth, she formally summons and dissolves Parliament.(„The Queen's speech“, with which the Queen opens each session of Parliament is prepared by the government and read by the Queen). Besides she is commander-in-chief of all armed forces and the head of the Church of England. She also awards various titles and orders, etc. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/titularhttps://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/formally
But in reality, the Queen acts only on the advice of her ministers.(because she is what is called a constitutional monarch) The monarch's power of veto, which is not clearly defined, has not been used for over two hundred years, and so it has become a tradition that the royal power of veto doesn't really exist at all. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/veto
