It implies that he wrongly advised the Queen. That means he should
now resign as PM.

Why?

Because one of the cornerstones of our system of constitutional
monarchy is that the monarch must be able to rely absolutely on the
advice given by the PM. This judgment provides the basis for the
constitutionally dangerous precedent that the monarch might have to
reject that advice. The only way to avoid that is for any PM who
wrongly advises the monarch to step down from office immediately it is
determined that has happened.

That's fanciful. Liz isnt a fool, she is quite capable of deciding if
the PM advice makes any sense.

Until this ruling, she was constitutionally bound to follow his advice.
Now, she could choose to ignore it, which would be a dangerous
precedent, potentially taking us back to before the English Bill of Rights.
