She actually has a lot of powers that haven’t been used without the wishes of the government in hundreds of years.  I like to imagine her calling the current Prime Minister to the Palace and saying to him, “Boris, there is something about you that gets right up the Royal nose. I am removing you and dissolving Parliament.”

There was a very good drama on TV In 2017 starring Tim Piggot Smith called King Charles III. Prince Charles becomes King after the death of QE II, and refuses to sign a bill into law, then uses some of the constitutional powers listed above.  Very well acted and researched, exploring such a constitutional crisis that is theoretically possible. The drama is available on Amazon Prime, I may have to watch it again.
