It's called 'Royal Assent'.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_assent

Certain bills (e.g. financial) are by convention not blocked by the Lords and so once these final bill has been approved it is sent to the queen for her signature to put it in law.

The last time the Monarch refused to pass a law approved by Parliament was 1704

The article is describing a different process than Royal assent

Royal Consent is a murkier and more dangerous concept than Royal Assent.

The day the queen refuses to assent to a bill against the will of parliament is the day the monarchy ends.
