IMO, such a role should not be inherited. Locking a family in such a golden cage is cruel, and should be forbidden.
(I’ll ignore the possibility of an elected monarch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elective_monarchy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elective_monarchy))

Further back than that, IMO. Even non-royal heads of state can have too much grandeur (example: presidents of France). The real role model are presidents such as those of Germany and Austria.
If you ask somebody “Who’s the president of Germany?” I think it’s likelier to get the response “Does Germany _have_ a president?” than to get the right answer (currently Frank-Walter Steinmeier)
