Your PM must go to the Queen to ask for permission to be PM.
She can dismiss him or her at any time.
She can sign or not sign bills into law.
She can give mercy in capital punishment cases.
She makes treaties, declares war, deploys armed forces.
Your royal family has a lot more power than you're giving them credit for.
Once police identified the suspect as Pipkins, officers notified his family. Some of those family members showed up at the house and expressed their anger at the homeowner for not issuing a “warning.”
“He could have used a warning,” Lakesha Thompson, Pipkins’ sister-in-law, said. “He could have let him know that he did have a gun on his property and he would use it in self-defense.”
The suspect reportedly had a extensive criminal record and had served time in prison. He was previously convicted of theft, possession of a controlled substance and criminal trespassing.

Because it's not even the powers that you see. It's the powers you don't see.
My wife's a spy and her handlers are pushing her really really really hard to go to England and use our kids as the cover. Putting one of them in a British college. I think her handlers are Chinese.

FFS.
How many times do we have to hear this complete and utter nonsense?
Your PM must go to the Queen to ask for permission to be PM.
It's a tradition - you know, culture / heritage and all that - guess you just don't get it.
She can dismiss him or her at any time.
No she can not.
She can sign or not sign bills into law.
If a ruling monarch refused to give Royal Assent to any Bill that had been passed by Parliament it would cause a Constitutional crisis and would result in her going the same way as some of her predecessors who thought they could overrule Parliament.
She can give mercy in capital punishment cases.
Can she?
Considering that there is no such thing as capital punishment in the UK she'd be pretty hard pressed to do so.
She makes treaties, declares war, deploys armed forces.
Yes, as Head Of State she does, pretty much the same way that POTUS does in the USA - but process has to be followed and those processes are the relative 'democratic' procedures of our governments.
Your royal family has a lot more power than you're giving them credit for.
They may have quite considerable influence but they have relatively little power at all.
It's obvious you have no actual knowledge of the workings of the UK and are just repeating the usual anti-UK dogma and bollocks that has been disproven on countless occassions - pityful effort really.
Can we now get back to discussing UK gun control laws?
