The power to wave at the popirazzi (sp?) and nothing else. She's a postcard figure.

I think you mean "countries" rather than "counties".
The short answer is, nowadays, very little, as is the case in the UK.
The monarchy has the right to "advise" if requested to do so. Other than that, the monarchy might be called upon to help resolve a serious constitutional crisis, but even this is unlikely, especially if not asked.

The Queen's Representative here in Canada is The Governor General. Her (it's a "she" at the moment) role is largely ceremonial and do-good missions. As in days of old, she is approached by leaders of federal political parties to request the formation or dissolution of a government after/before an election. The last two GoG's have not even been politicians.

The GoG is appointed by the Canadian government, with the approval of the Queen. The position is not appointed directly by the monarchy.

I hope this helps.

The Queen is only a symbolic head but does not have any direct political power over UK, Canada and Australia.
