            They still have a Queen. It’s just not Queen Elizabeth II, it’s Camilla.

                Difference = Virtually 0, only genetic.

                They still hold 0 power either way.
                King, Queen, or King/Queen’s consort their still just figureheads no different than a celebrity.

                Also, she’s going to be a Queen Dowager very soon. 😏

                  Incorrect the monarch is technically the head of the British army, therefore they can technically declare war on another country (although they did pass the power to control army to the Government but technically that still stands), the consort has no power so can’t do this.

                  Secondly the monarch passes laws set out by parliament in other words the monarch could technically deny a law from passing, the consort has no power so can’t do this.

                  Thirdly the monarch has the power to close the government down and also the power to create a new government, the consort has no power so can’t do this.

                  Should I go on?
