      You’re also not allowed to speak of the queen or king or the royal family in parliament without notifying them ahead of time

        Uhh yeah but the parliament that can be dissolved by the monarch at any time and is elected democratically (at least sometimes, considering recent events) says that's okay so actually that's democractic. That reflects the will of the populace

        Everyone also seems to be missing the house of lords lol. Lifetime appointments (not elected), spots for the church of england, and a whole punch of hereditary peers. Amazingly democratic upper house there.
