What powers does the British Monarchy hold?

Asked by AstroChuck (37609points) May 17th, 2008 from iPhone

I’d always thought that, as the UK is a constitutional monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II was just a figurehead with no power. A couple of weeks ago I was told by a co-worker that the queen has the power to declare war. Is this true? Any UK flutherers (flutherites, jellies?) out there who might know?
