There is an article in Foreign Policy (see here: https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/08/29...liament-boris/) discussing why the Queen can't do anything about Brexit, but I truly do not understand the point of having a sovereign who is unwilling or unable to act because doing so would arguably cause a political crisis or the end of the monarchy itself (as the article suggests).

If the monarch only has theoretical power but no real power, then why does anyone pay any attention at all to her (or him)?
