But it's more for show than something the Queen (or a successor) would ever wield. It would provoke another constitutional crisis and likely see the end of the monarchy (I reckon there's an outside chance Liz might be able to weather the storm, but once she goes, I think we'll see the role of the monarchy downgraded anyway: the younger generation of royals don't seem to have much appetite for all the palaver beyond meets and greets, and none are likely to command the respect Liz has).

She might express concerns and dissatisfaction at her regular audiences with May or through other channels, but that's as far as it would go.
