A figurehead role refers to the activities of a person who is the head of an organisation but does not have actual power within the organisation. An example of a figurehead is Queen Elizabeth II, - she is the head of state of the United Kingdom - she opens Parliament, and meets foreign dignitaries but plays no part in the government of the UK.
The UK's political system is democratic, the real decision maker is the Prime Minister, democratically elected. It is still a consitutional monarchy, though the monarch is not an absolute ruler, more of a figurehead.
