The article does a good job conflating the parliamentary process of Queen’s consent and lobbying of the government by the Royal family. You may think both are bad/outdated, I do, but there’s a lot of journalistic spin going on here.
Right at the bottom of the article there is a quote: “Consent is always granted by the monarch where requested by government. Any assertion that the sovereign has blocked legislation is simply incorrect.”
The journalist never provides any evidence to the contrary.
