I don't really pay a lot of attention to details of British government. Has the monarchy still been much of a relevant influence in the actions of government during the decades of her rule? I kind of thought that she was basically a figurehead for the UK as well. Did she have any real power during any period of her reign?
Really, I just don't know what the queen actually did all the time and what influence she actually had over government. She has always presented as a person who was just decent and not driving any particular political or national agenda, but my point of view is pretty ignorant on what her actual role was.

It's interesting that people still haven't figured out that just about all countries and people have histories of doing terrible things.
It's almost like it's... human... nature?
