Royal assent to a supply bill is "La Reyne remercie ses bons sujets, accepte leur benevolence, et ainsi le veult", translated as "The Queen thanks her good subjects, accepts their bounty, and wills it so." For other bills "La Reyne le veult" ("the Queen wills it"). For personal bills, the phrase is "Soit fait comme il est désiré" ("let it be as it is desired"). Refusing assent is "La Reyne s'avisera" ("the Queen will consider it"). Outside the seminar General Cosgrove said he had schooling in French . "I was thrilled as a young tourist in France to find that I could at least get along". Cosgrove was sworn in as Governor-General by Chief Justice Robert French. Australia's governor-general has benefited from the submarine deal with France, touring some of Paris' finest palaces ._ Sydney Morning Herald.
Under modern constitutional conventions, the sovereign acts on the advice of his or her ministers. The sovereign is generally believed not to legally have the power to withhold assent and cannot avoid speaking French. Scomo has difficulty understanding any of this.

Foxy,

Blair did not tell the Queen to do anything, it was all a media beat-up.

The Queen is the most powerful person in the UK, far more powerful than the Parliament.

Sidestepping truth that is
And trying make us believe what are at least unfortunate untruths.
Liz was told , by Tony, end story.
She has zero power, zero right to any, and surely you know it.
Even when the English bred Australian Lizard Abbott knighted Phil the Greek, he was revising some thing our parlement had stopped, Imperial honors

Is Mise,

I guess that you think that the 2017 BBC documentary -
"Diana: 7 Days That Shook The Windsors," that was made
marking the 20th Anniversary of Princess Diana's death
last year, also got it wrong.

It was one of the few made with the co-operation
of her immediate family.

Foxy,

Blair never forced the Queen to do anything, just consider; what force could he apply?

Belly,

Take it or leave it Elizabeth II is the most powerful woman in the UK and her power far surpasses anything that Parliament or the PM can muster.
