Queen Elizabeth II is the ceremonial head of government of England and of some other nations in the British Commonwealth, including Canada and Australia. This means that while she does not actually govern, and does not originate any legislation or give any orders about how government does its job, she does grant her symbolic assent (or agreement) to the laws that the national parliament passes, and this assent is considered to give the law its authority. She is obligated to give her assent, no matter what legislation parliament passes, but still, the law does not come into effect without her assent. It is a ritualistic aspect of government.

What are the differences between the Japanese government and the US government?
The Japanese government is a multi-party parliamentary republic; the US government is a two-party Federal Republic. In Japan the head of government is a member of the legislative body and can loose his formal right to govern based on a simple vote of the parliament. The ceremonial functions of Head of State are performed by another person, the Emperor. In the US the head of government is not a member of the legislature and serves for a definite term, regardless of most votes in the legislature. The head of government also serves as head of state, and so has ceremonial as well as administrative responsibilities.
Difference between a president and a prime minister?
A President is a Head of State while a Prime Minister is a Head of Government. In countries that don't have a Prime Minister, the President may also be Head of Government. A Head of State typically signs legislation (with or without a veto), conducts diplomatic relations, presents national honours, appoints officials and serves various ceremonial purposes. A Head of Government is typically in charge of organizing and directing government policy. The relationship between the two varies depending on the country, sometimes with the Head of State clearly in charge with a subordinate Head of Government, through various degrees of power sharing, down to the Head of State being entirely ceremonial and all power belonging to the Head of Government.
