            Difference = Virtually 0, only generic.

            They still hold 0 power either way.
            King, Queen, or King/Queen’s consort their still just figureheads no different than a celebrity.

            Also, she’s going to be a Queen Dowager very soon. 😏

              Incorrect the monarch is technically the head of the British army, therefore they can technically declare war on another country (although they did pass the power to control army to the Government but technically that still stands), the consort has no power so can’t do this.

              Secondly the monarch passes laws set out by parliament in other words the monarch could technically deny a law from passing, the consort has no power so can’t do this.

              Thirdly the monarch has the power to close the government down and also the power to create a new government, the consort has no power so can’t do this.

              Should I go on?

                    Dude. It was deadass 1939.

                    “The last time the UK declared war without first seeking advice from Parliament was in 1939 when the UK declared war against Germany. This declaration of war occurred before Parliament had the opportunity to provide input or approval. Since then, there have been significant developments in the process of seeking parliamentary approval for military action in the UK.”
