It’s not the only way, he could abdicate for one thing. There’s the possibility of democratic abolition of the monarchy (but if you go by opinion polls it doesn’t have enough public support at the moment).

You can wish for the abolition of the monarchy (in a non-guillotine sort of way)

changing the system of government doesn’t require anyone’s death.
