> The King can call an election when he likes they did away with the fixed term parliament act <
There has been some discussion about that here on FR. From what I can tell, the King can dissolve Parliament, but only on the advice of the prime minister.
He cannot do it all on his own, like in the old days.
Side note: A few sources say yes, the King can dissolve Parliament all on his own, even now. But that would set off a huge political crisis.
Odd that something so important is so murky.
