The only good monarch is a dead monarch.

The UK Queen or the King can stand in the middle of the street in any Commonwealth country and shoot passers-by with a gun killing them.

They can’t be arrested because the authority police have is directly drawn from their power as the Crown.

They can’t be tried in court because, again, the judiciary’s authority also comes from the Crown.

Where do Kings and Queens get authority from?

God.

Yes, they have been ordained by God to wield this power.

If this all sounds strange, archaic and unfair, congrats you’re not a monarchist anymore and you should push to become a republic.

the first trial against a monarch in the uk was in 1649, ending in an execution. from wiki:

"On Saturday 27 January 1649, the parliamentarian High Court of Justice had declared Charles guilty of attempting to "uphold in himself an unlimited and tyrannical power to rule according to his will, and to overthrow the rights and liberties of the people" and he was sentenced to death by beheading"

I can think of more than a few modern day monarchs and politicians that would be beheaded by those criteria..

Depending on your perspective, the law that was passed especially for the purpose of executing him was not legal.

They effectively committed regicide.

That’s why many people involved in that trial were executed, for regicide.
