One does indeed.

I'm no expert but it sounds like a fundamental constitutional change and I can see ramifications for the Commonwealth noting that some sub-continents did recently vote to stay in and keep therefore the Union Flag as part of their national flag.

You will note His Holiness Blair and all the PMs refer to "our people" whereas HM Queen refers to "my people".

It is also apparent that HMQ still takes a very keen interest in government quite apart from the formal weekly meeting with the PM of the time; she does ask some tough and searching questions especially as it's not law until the bit of paper has "Elizabeth II R" signed on the bottom then the blob of red sealing wax with the Royal Cipher pressed in it using the stamp she keeps in the office desk.

We will not know perhaps ever, but the sudden adout face of diety Blair in this instance does smack of someone of even greater importance hauling him up by a short turn.

"Enough is enough, you go and ask _my_ people first."

Hmmmmmmmm.
