I.e. by an unelected foreigner who asserts dominance through custom and tradition. I don’t know how long such arrangements can persevere, but it’d be delightful if they didn’t survive past Lizzie and Charlie. I mean, it’s the 21st century. If we have no gods, then why do we still have masters? Ontologically speaking, sovereignty in a secular nation can have no metaphysical assertions (“divine right to rule”), so there can be no legitimate claims of primacy over other humans. But this is well known. Perhaps it’s the invisible and inactive nature of British monarchy that permits it to survive: they do next no nothing publicly, so they don’t step on toes.
