I never watched the Crown.

Below is a quote from the link.

This wartime propaganda depiction of a democratic British monarchy completely distinct from its continental peers (and indeed relations!), such as the German Kaiser, who were portrayed as wasteful, militarist, and materialist, established a hugely successful myth of British exceptionalism. British royals were different, the press claimed, and so did not need to be overthrown like their continental counterparts: Britain had monarchy by ‘consent’ of the people. This narrative helped protect the monarchy in the face of widespread socialist and anti-monarchist revolutions on the continent.

Sorry you fell for the propaganda of King George V. But that is all it was. PROPAGANDA. The monarch has more authority than you know and you live there. They just know better than to use it. Study your own history.
