I believe this is pretty much automatic. Even when the Queen is doing what the government asks of her its assumed that they have the support of Parliament. I don't know how anyone can think the Queen acting on behalf of the Government
against Parliament, explicitly to remove Parliament's power from challenging the Government, wouldn't spark a constitutional crisis far worse than Bercow allowing an amendment.
I don't think she'll touch it, she has been pretty savvy at protecting the Monarchy, and I don't think May would want to put her in that position. PM's typically have also understood the importance of it.
