You may be under the mistaken opinion that the Queen abdicated rule over the UK, she actually divorced her lands and power from the UK, while maintaining a legal hold over all the countries of the commonwealth. The royal family does most of it's "ruling" via finance now, while they "self govern" the little stuff.
She just decided to leave the mundane day to day ruling of the peasants to the peasants via this thing the Black Nobility came up with where the House of Commons pretends it's in charge and no one has reason to hang the odd noble anymore. It's how most of this stuff they call democracy really works.
