I was just about to use this example. Not only that, but many politicians (never mind the public) asked at the time didn’t even know that the Governor General and said powers even existed at the time. He had, however, been on the CIA’s payroll for some time.

Even the expert legal scholars in this field have no idea what would happen if the King just decided to ignore Parliament and do whatever.
