Of course, the U.K. is rather famously not a republic, but rather a democratic monarchy. Now, if only the King would do his job and refuse assent to the Parliament when it does something wrong.

The King is only two years younger than Trump, and has cancer. His main interests are watercolor painting, traditional architecture, homeopathy, the Goon Show, and vegetables. He was never likely to do anything confrontational.*
I wonder if a future King William might try something like this, though.
* Come to think of it, Hitler liked three or four of those things too, so this is less demonstrative of character than I imagine.
