I don’t understand this. The monarchy hasn’t had influence over parliament and the government for over 300 years. You may be able to point to attempts at doing so (eg the Black Spider letter), however, parliament is fully sovereign.

Kier Starmer is (pretty much) to the UK what JD Vance is to the US. Appointed by the head of state. Meets the head of state regularly to be told what to do (wednesdays iirc). Think about what it has taken for you to say what you just said despite those facts. We are also talking about what is still the richest, most most powerful family on the planet. You think Elon musk is rich for owning Tesla and Twitter, these guys still own for example, England, Wales, Canada and Australia.
