[quote]The document also reveals that the Queen did not consent to a Private Members Bill in 1999 which proposed transferring historic formal powers to declare war - under the royal prerogative - from the Monarch to Parliament.[/quote] So while many seem to claim the "vetoing" power of the Monarch is mainly ceremonial the quote above proves they do at times refused to sign certain bills from becoming law. I cannot imagine what Parliament would do with the power to declare war without the Monarchs input. Although in Modern times no bill has been refused but its nice to know they do reject bills from time to time.
