The Monarch retains the power to veto any legislation, appoint/dismiss a Minister including the PM, prorogue/dismiss parliament as a whole, and technically all foreign relations treaties, declare war etc. but all this is done "on the advice of" a minister.
However, as an anti-monarchist I'd like to point out that for a couple centuries the Monarch has never once had a piece of legislation put before them that they felt the need to veto.
So how much power the Monarch retains is really a mystery, because it could be as simple as someone from the Monarch's office going "he ain't signing that" and instead of potentially introducing a constitutional crisis they torpedo the legislation.
The interesting thing to me is still how the Monarchy kowtowed to Trump, so given they have full authority to enter treaties/deals/pacts with foreign nations, what that could potentially entail.
