7 of the 11 full democracies are monarchies and a non-politically biased monarch is more than a boon to the protection of democracy, in contrast to elected presidents who - even when ceremonial - are elected based on popular vote, which can be wrong. Presidencies like in America attract power-hungry people unlike monarchies.
No, instead you have a figurehead that does literally nothing other than absorbing millions of dollars/euros for no reason, to the detriment of everybody else.
