Yes, it's the King's kingdom,'literally' ... oh, and ... 'Le Roy Le Veult', Royal assent, which is the final step required for a parliamentary bill to become law.

A veto power that hasn't been used since 1708, and a real King/Queen could make decrees, they do not have the power to legislate a damn thing, parliament must consent. This is no diffrent than the US president vetoing a bill, and he is not a King

Oh, King Charles III is a very real King indeed, and not one of those US Elvis kind of ... 'Kings', as you seem to imagine.

From your link

"The Commonwealth realms are sovereign states. They are united only in their VOLUNTARY connection with the institution of the monarchy."
