In this day and age can exercise a level of power/control over their government beyond the limitations of a Constitutional monarchy?

Just an odd question that popped into my head. The Parameters for this is that the Royal family/Figure in question should be descended from a line that at least has wielded power since the mid 19th century.

  1. no


  2. Yes, but not the British or European Royal Houses. Check the King of Saudi Arabia, the Sultan of Brunei, the Emir of Kuwait, I forget his title but the ruler of Dubai and some of those smaller Arab states.

  3. What's the point on the 19th century "power roots"?

    Any ruler must have the leadership carved in his policies. Royal or not. In monarchies what is different is that were cases where people did keep the links with their own people and that national inheritance if well guided can do wonders.

    But no one doubts how much the notion of service is alive when that happens.

    Sorry if this is aside of your question but I really don't know what you meant with the 19th century issue
