A job for  life    So their life is quite busy. Besides, the Queen acts as head of the government - so every day she reads official papers from the government and once a week she has a meeting with the Prime Minister. She also has to read the report of the day from Parliament. Any law made by Parliament really becomes law only if the Queen agrees to it. But no king or queen has refused a new law since 1701!
