The Government is elected by the General Public, not the Prime Minister.

The Queen is not elected and is very well rewarded for her "sense of duty towards her country".

The Queen is duty bound to act on the advise of her ministers so can't really sack GB.

Acting on the Queen's behalf the Gov General of Australia did sack the (acting?) Prime Minister of Austrlia in the 70s but there was a whole different set of circumstances involved.
