It is not explicitly spelled out. Notionally, she is head of state, head of the Church of England and head of the Commonwealth (erstwhile British colonies). In daily life she is merely a figurehead. The precise truth is that she is the personification of the constitutional monarchy of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the assorted territories still under British rule eg Gibraltar (sadly, we gave up Hong Kong in 1997).

Politically, her role is to confer authority upon the prime minister but she does not exercise any veto on policy. She cannot and would not interfere in Brexit or any other political undertaking. However, statutes must be ratified by her speaking the words La Reyne le Veult which is Old French for "the queen wills it".

Because we don't have a written constitution, our political and legal protocols are a mixture of ancient tradition, longstanding practice, and modern reforms. Bit of a mess really, but we muddle through.

What is going on, my friend, is that the Jews have sabotaged the will of the British people as expressed in the referendum of 2016. Letwin and Bercow have betrayed us, just as Jews have betrayed their host nations since God was a boy.
