Original Note:
NNN While de jure the Monarch does have the power to not assent to laws, treaties, pardons etc, de facto they do not do so and act upon the advice of their Ministers. The last time a Monarch did not give Royal Assent was Queen Anne in 1708 for the Scottish Militia Bill. https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/research-briefings/cbp-9466/
