Does the royal family in England have any real power, or is it just a ceremonial position?

I know they once had all the power, but is the parliamentary government in full control now, or can the royals actually affect politics, administration, and control over the country?

Edit: Thank all of you so much for taking the time to answer. This includes all of you with theories of power behind the curtains. It’s actually quite fascinating, and I am still combing through comments.

A very special thanks goes out to all the people that have “politely” corrected my use of the word, “England”. I would remind you that questions are for the point of learning. I appreciate your contribution.

Are those two things exclusive? Ceremony is a powerful force.
