Given that the DUTY of the Monarch is to Advise, Guide and Warn the PM of the day and its' Govt, have the UK Monarchy allowed the Govt too much of a free hand over the years - particularly the last 10years?
I can't help wondering whether or not, during the weekly meetings with the PM, the Queen WARNED the PM against sending HER Troops into Iraq?
Did she ADVISE her PM that although duty-bound to honour NATO/UN comittments, plus whilst she recognised she would have no say regards AFGHANISTAN, as far as HER troops were concerned, she would only allow a small group to join NATO in an advisorsy capacity or basic construction/engineering capacity - as other NATO countries have done in order to honour thier NATO/UN comittments?
The PM and his Govt of the day are in power BECAUSE the Queen INVITED him to form a Govt NOT because he was democratically elected by the people... CONTRARY to popular belief.
Prince Charles AND Tony Bliar(sic) were educated BY THE SAME TUTOR...............

The Queen has had her day..... she is however to old a dog to have one put over on her by the P.M of today...... but sadly she belongs in a nut house anyway.

UK is also a democracy though headed by a monarch (Queen in this case) and the duty of the PM and his council is to advise the Queen which is other way round the general perception as above and the PM is not bound to go strictly by the Queen's opinion, may or may not abide, there is no statutory compulsion. It is the govt. to decide and take a view on all issues including sending forces abroad.

I am sure you are and keeping the Nostagia of a monarchy. Look it works, just vote for someone with more sensible policies as far as you are concerned... assuming sending troops was the wrong decision!

The Queen is just a figure head and has no power except her wealth.
