He does have the power to dissolve parliament, immense wealth, as well as physical and financial security not enjoyed by the general population. And this is granted not by merit nor democracy but, because his ancestors had the resources to kill anyone who thought that they weren’t granted the right to rule over everyone by their god. And his uncle was even a big fan of Hitler, which was covered up for decades.
Monarchies of any sort are fundamentally unjust power structures that are relics of a bygone era with no business existing in modern times.
