She is expected to sit at the middle of the table beside the Prime Minister, David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague for the regular senior ministers’ meeting.

Buckingham Palace has told Queen’s presence in the meeting will comprise of at least half hour, while the meeting will last for one and a half hour.

Queen as head of state, has her involvement in politics in a formal way. Queen also owns the authority to appoint the prime minister.
