The queen of England, Elizabeth II, signs every bill that is presented to her by the British parliament. She is also the queen of Canada, but she does not sign every bill (or any bill) enacted by the Canadian parliament; instead, those bills are signed by her representative, the Governor General of Canada. The queen does not veto anything, since her role is ceremonial. She reigns but does not actually govern.

No, the queen does not sign every bill. In the United Kingdom, the queen's role in lawmaking is largely ceremonial. Bills are typically passed by Parliament and become law once they receive royal assent, which is usually given by a representative of the queen, such as the Lord Chancellor.

IF the queen passes any inconsistent bill the opposition will bring a lawsuit against it in the high court discuss it?
The Queen (of Great Britain) does not pass any bills, these bills are drawn up by the legislature (the government of the day) and passed by a vote in parliament. After the second reading of the bill it then goes to the Queen to sign (the royal ascent). The Queen MUST sign these bills into law.Being duly enacted by parliament and signed by the Queen, there is by definition no way a lawsuit can be brought against it in a UK court as the bill is the law. However if the bill infringes any treaties that the UK has signed up to (including European Union legislation) then a UK CITIZEN can challenge the legality of the bill in the courts.
