Is it properly called a “coup” when it’s being executed by the monarch?

The coup was when Mohammed bin Salman replaced Saud bin Nayef Al Saud as Crown Prince.
Now comes the purge of all opposing forces.

Article title sucks. How can it be a coup when it is the Monarch conduction it?

It's what Napoleon III did. He was elected president of the French republic, but executed a coup 3 years later to seize power and was appointed emperor.
The appropriate term is self-coup. It has happened many times:
