Queen Elizabeth II's influence on life in Britain?

Question

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher has had a huge influence on Britain' economic life and such...has the Queen done anything extraordinary to influence her country and others??

Answer 1

The Queen has had a huge influence on the country.  Every week she has an audience with the serving prime minister, which are top secret, so her influence in these meetings are not known.  However, it has been said that every prime minister takes these meetings extremely seriously and they take her advice well, since she has had more top level governmental access than anyone in the country, and is probably second only to King Bhumbibol of Thailand in the world.

Her influence on other countries' affairs is also known.  The most recent and high profile case was in 2004, when George W. Bush wanted to be seen with The Queen to boost his popularity in the states before the November elections. To be seen next to The Queen is considered a great boost to a US presidential campaign, since she is hugely popular in the states.  If she had declined the appearance (most unlikely), it would have been considered hugely damaging to Bush.

Another example was in the process of meeting the International Olympic Committee inspection teams for the London 2012 bid.  It was considered one of the main reasons why London was given such a glowing report, which led to the IOC awarding the games to London.

So although the political structure of monarchy has long been disestablished (almost), the monarchy is still a huge social heavyweight.
