Ohh no. She is only a figurehead. She has one political power only, she can hold up a law for 3 years - in theory. But if she ever used that power there would be such a stink she would have to abdicate.

She is basically a diplomat, her job is to impress other world leaders. She is also a good tourist draw. We expect to make several billion this year alone out of the fact that she has now got a new great-granddaughter.

And we could not afford to run the country without her money. The queen effectively pays 85% tax (although technically what happens is she pays no tax, the government "administers" her property for her, keeps 85% of the money it makes for providing this service, and gives her back 15% of her own money).
