The British constitution (short version) is as follows: The Queen is God's representative on earth, what she says goes.

It's sort of unconstitutional, but so is half the poo poo this government, the coalition, and Blair pulled.

I don't think we even had a written constitution until a few years ago. It would definitely cause a constitutional crisis and would be a dumb thing for her to do but I don't believe there's anything stopping her.

There's a film/play about Charles III where he basically walks into parliament, says they're a bunch of dicks, and dissolves it.

Whoops. I somehow remembered there being an effort made to codify everything a few years ago. Guess they never did.

If you're on about the governor general proroguing parliament in Canada, we aren't some lickspittle colony, and the Queen has not been involved in dissolving parliament for years.

THE POSSESSION OF WEALTH IS IN AND OF ITSELF A SIGN OF POOR VIRTUE. AS SUCH:
1 NEVER TRUST ANY RICH PERSON.
2 NEVER HIRE ANY RICH PERSON.
BY RULE 1, IT IS APPROPRIATE TO PRESUME THAT ALL DEGREES AND CREDENTIALS HELD BY A WEALTHY PERSON ARE FRAUDULENT. THIS JUSTIFIES RULE 2--RULE 1 NEEDS NO JUSTIFIC

the queen is generally up for anything if you pay her enough, it's how stephen harper stayed in power in canada once after going on an insane sexist rant in public and being no confidence'd

are you certain the queen accepts bribes? it’s surprising, considering her vast personal wealth.
