The “differences” you outlined in 263 are a fiction, they don’t exist, there’s nothing actually there. Everything you list about monarchy is just window dressing, titles and the assumption of divine sanction. You don’t bother to get into how a monarch rules, monarchs rule via a dictatorship, they are the absolute power. Heck you even accidentally admit it in 263 you just didn’t bother to notice. Here’s a key sentence from monarchy:
the word monarch means ‘single ruler’
And from dictatorship:
A dictatorship is defined as an autocratic form of government in which the government is ruled by an individual, the dictator

Kings are dictators. Period. You even said so, though you’ll never admit it.

As a matter of the historic record - Monarchy starts out as a Military Dictatorship.

It doesn’t become a “Monarchy” until someone inherits dictatorial power from his Military Dictator Father.

“Military Dictatorship: Friend of Liberty”

LOL!!!!

Absolute monarchs have absolute power, and medieval monarchs have divided power, and so are constitutional monarchs, and neither is dictator for the simple reason that the monarchs acquired power legally.
