I don't know if anyone else has noticed. But not once in my lifetime has the Queen actually done anything. I mean, the one thing she did - fire the prime minister and everyone got cross at her. I mean, I understand that she holds the entire commonwealth together. But what does she actually DO? And who pays for whatever she does?:eek

I don't think the Queen has that power to fire prime ministers, what does she or the royals do? Perhaps promote British and Commonwealth interest?
 
I'm wracking my brains as to what you're thinking of with 'firing a Prime Minister'.

The Queen has no ability to do so. Maybe your confused that the law requires her to ask for the resignation as formal protocol when a Prime Minister loses confidence of their own political party. As happened with Thatcher.

Personally, by nature, I'm republican in my feeling towards royalty. I would happily see the institution die a death once the current Queen passes on.

However, she herself has done an incredible job in promoting our interest overseas, being a wonderful representative for us and working dilligently for her people for nearly 60 years in the role. She is the spiritual leader of the Church of England and head of our Armed Forces. It is her and her alone that can rule on a declaration of war. She appoints Bishops and Archbishops and raises millions each year for all commonwealth nations with her patronage of charities and institutions and also with her attendance at schools, hospitals and functions. Every day a 'red box' is delivered to her full of documents and reports from government officials and commonwealth ones too. They must all be read and signed by her.

She's 83 I believe now and is still maintaining a near full working schedule. Sure that schedule means she travels, eats and sleeps at a level you and I will never know.....however, I do not begrudge her one piece of it....

Her ass clown husband and children however.......

She brings in a shit load of money in tourism to the country. She does a ton of ceremonial and diplomatic work, in fact, you tell me any other 83 year old grandmother who is expected to work as hard as her purely through who they were born as.
