    It’s ceremonial only by convention. Most of the monarchy’s power still legally exists, which to me is ridiculous

        Every new law passed is signed off by the monarch, a new PM still has to ask royal permission to form a government etc. In practice, these are purely formalities and are treated as such, but still legally there
