There is a President in the United States because a group of men in the 1700s decided that being the first born of the previous leader was a poor method of picking a country’s next leader. I agree with this premise and add that being the first born is possibly the worst method for choosing leadership. Of course the monarchy was replaced with a constitutional republic which is widely known as “the” worst form of government, except for all others.
So, I ask the question, why are their still kings and queens in the world? Of course, I know the answer and that is because people fawn over the concept and believe that a king or queen is somehow devine or God given. Also, the fact that is took a 4 year war to rid ourselves of the king of england is the real answer of why there are still kings and queens in the world. It takes guts for a population to rid themselves of such a form of government and it gets harder when there is a sweet little old lady in that position as with the UK.
So, my question was mostly retorical.
Which has been great for America. Until now when we have a demented old creep who actually lost an election, but the got his BLM/ANTIFA thugs to help him steal the elections.
Look, every country chooses the system that is best for them and then works out the issues with experience over the years.
Right now, I'd say The Queen is a far more legitimate head of state than Biden will ever be.
Because countries like The UK, The Netherlands etc think it's good for them to have kings. It's not up to Americans to tell the British what government they should have.

That is not the reason in England.

Nope. The English King was not an American King. He was essentially a foreign ruler.

It takes the will of the people. The Queen is more popular than the British Prime Minister. And the Prime Minister was elected. And Queen was not.

‘such a form of government’? The flaw in your rhetoric is the apparent belief that the British monarch still ‘governs’. The monarchy hasn’t governed for a good few centuries now. Parliament, not the Head of State, is sovereign.
