It is commonly thought that members of the Royal family are not allowed to vote, but this is not true.
The Queen can vote, as can members of her family, but they do not do so because in practice it would be considered unconstitutional
Does the Queen vote?
Electoral law does not prohibit the Queen, or other members of Royal Family from voting. In practice it is considered unconstitutional for the Sovereign or heir apparent to vote in an election. Other members of Royal Family do not vote because of their closeness to the Sovereign.

No the Queen doesn't vote - she is not meant to represent or lean towards any political party. In fact I read that when someone at a function who was talking to her, suddenly began talking of politics, she immediately turned away and began talking to someone else. Later she turned back and continued talking to the man - politics is one of the subjects you don't mention to the queen.

No. The Queen is supposed to show no leaning to any political party. Thus, she does not have a vote. She probably has her own views though.

No. The queen cannot vote as she has to be seen to be neutral & not show any preferences.
