Royal Assent is required for all acts of Parliament and the legislatures, which sit at her pleasure.
The Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act, 1927, initiated the gradual replacement of the concept of a singular crown throughout the British Empire with that of multiple crowns, making each dominion a separate kingdom with the Crown worn by the common monarch.
Prominent critics of the monarchy point out that the Act of Settlement 1701 explicitly excludes Roman Catholics from the throne and the Queen is Supreme Governor of the Church of England, requiring her to be an Anglican.

Under the British Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927, which implemented a decision of an earlier Commonwealth conference, the unified Crown that had heretofore been the centre point of the Empire was replaced by multiple crowns worn by a shared monarch.
Though this principle was implicit in the Act and in the Kings new titles, and came out of a Commonwealth Conference, neither the British government nor the dominion governments seemed initially to grasp its significance.
The main function of the monarch is to appoint and dismiss the Governor-General and the State Governors, and this function is exercised on the advice of the Prime Minister or the relevant State Premier.

In "An Act to Constitute the Commonwealth of Australia", the 9th clause of which is usually referred to as the 'Australian Constitution' was, is, and remains conditional upon the first 8 covering clauses of that Act, a current Act of domestic law of the United Kingdom Parliament.
