Today it is more a traditional technicality, but the monarch most often still “has the final say” before anything are put into law.

Which then is technically correct, but has never been done. Also, the King in Denmark for example has no veto right.
It’s the ministers who decide.
So making the argument in a post about dictatorship and control from monarchs is pretty weak.

I was answering to a comment, not the main post.
And while most European monarchs have “final approval” for new laws, they are technically powerless, hence why I specified just that. It is a traditional technicality, with no real power behind it any more.
