Dismissing the Crown doesn't necessarily mean tearing down the parliamentary structure though, does it? I like republic structures personally, but you're right that it would be massive endeavor to have what would basically be a revolution, albeit peaceful.
Some countries elect presidents to represent their country on the international stage, but don't technically have lawmaking powers, and still have a parliament and Prime Minister to form the government.
