As for monarchs, while a few are arrogant despots who use military power to maintain their positions, the majority are far from that. Elizabeth II of England did not choose the job but, in spite of that, serves as the shining example of how to fulfil the role the people ask of you. She may live in luxury but she pays for it dearly. She must do what she’s instructed to do by the government as well as when and how to do it.
