Besides photo ops with other world leaders, does the queen actually do anything? It seems to me they just keep her around because she's been around for so long already. I don't understand why she is qualified to appoint the Prime Minister, or the various other powers Wikipedia says she has.
No, she can abdicate the crown, but she's already said that the Heir Apparent and his sons will take the crown when they pry it out of her cold, dead hands. He has little faith in their abilities to run the country.
I'm sure it was probably sarcasm but the depths of human stupidity know no bounds so I find it's safer rather then to assume sarcasm to just assume stupidity. That way the odds are in my favor.

Some folks collect stamps she collects presidents. Pretty awesome, she's like the real life Forrest Gump (but not really).
