@aral I'm an American, but isn't the UK a monarchy? Why the surprise that the royals are active in running the country?

@BerylStapleton It’s a constitutional monarchy and most Brits would harbour the assumption that the Queen’s role is purely ceremonial.

@aral Context would be nice. For all we know, the Queen blocked ID cards. -
@CraigGrannell Does it matter? The real issue is that it’s undemocratic. -
@aral True, but then looking at the Commons/London mayor and British politics in general, I’m torn about Lords reform/republicanism.
