The Shah needed the military to help him remove the head of government in 1953. He was technically at the top, but really the prime minister held more power until the coup King Charles has little actual power, but a ton of theoretical power. If he somehow convinced the military to back him (and he would probably need all of NATO's support) he could do whatever he wanted in the UK too.
