We are not ruled by our monarchy. Their role is purely ceremonial. But yes they are of German descent.

It's ceremonial only by convention. Most of the monarchy's power still legally exists, which to me is ridiculous

Guess what would happen if they tried to use that power

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Nothing! Because they already use that power, just not in public. They blatantly exercise their powers to extort judges/politicians/media to their benefit.
