A British monarch hasn’t had absolute power for 800 years. As the article I linked noted, by the time Elizabeth took the throne the Crown had only two very specific roles to play in politics, and even those weren’t exercised after the first few years of her reign.
The Crown endures as an institution in Britain only so long as it doesn’t exercise any real political power.
