Basically no. In theory she does still have a great deal of power, such as the power to appoint a prime minister and to declare war, but it has been accepted for the last century or more that these powers are in practice wielded by the parliament or prime minister, and if she did try to use them it would cause a constitutional crisis. She does have occasional meetings with the prime minister though.
In fact, the current queen has been exceptionally careful, and successful, at avoiding political controversy. However her son, and presumed future king, has shown less restraint.
