There has not been a Queen of England since 1701 - she is the Queen of the United Kingdom (of Great Britain and Northern Ireland).

The Queen reigns but does not rule. The Queen represents the country, its traditions and values, and is in charge of things like the Order of Precedence, which don't effect the running of the country. She also chooses the Prime Minister, but since Parliament has to agree to this, this is a mere formality and the leader of the ruling party is always appointed. Members of the Government swear loyalty to the Crown but she has no real power in the Government.
