He'd basically be dissolving his own position at that point right?

Presumably it'd mean either the end of the monarchy or the end of the government as we know it, so it's a win-win for us lol

Yes. But why remain as an impotent king?

I mean he's 70-odd and has basically been powerless his whole life, if the options are to rock the boat or kick the can down the road and live out his last decade or two doing bugger-all in unimaginable opulence, I can see why he'd pick the latter.

Like it's not necessarily the morally right option, but I get it.
