    What a tribute to the warm, caring heart of the Queen to help in such practical ways when his family was so fragile.

      constitutional monarchy means she and her power are limited and controlled by the constitutional the Uk isn’t a democracy or a republic like America it is a constitutional monarchy that’s a fact however with that word “constitutional” it means our constitution our laws can be democratic or undemocratic and luckily the Uk is democratic
      she hasn’t got authority it’s just ceremonial and all she does now is sign and read letters the government writes.
      Also if she or her descendants went rouge I’m 100% confident they’d be sorted out by the government who’d take the power away
      she has the same power as bill bates she can’t just make laws without there been a debate because that’s undemocratic please wake up and realise her power is only ceremonial she’s now that of a tourist attraction and has the same amount of power as ordinary rich people why do you think prince Andrew hasn’t be headed or asked his mummy to declare war on America or to shut the British press oh that’s it because she has no power it’s all ceremonial.
