- meepmorp 6y agoParliament is sovereign, including over the monarchy. She categorically cannot overrule any legislation without being granted the power to do so by parliament, who can revoke that power at will. There was a whole civil war and other crazy shit to figure it out, but the monarch hasn't had that kind of authority since the end of the 17th century. The article is actually making a big deal about the fact that the queen expressed an opinion about legislation in an area that the author decided wasn't covered by the vague wording of a pamphlet.
