The British monarchy became increasingly powerless in the 1800s during Queen Victoria's reign due to the rise of parliamentary democracy and the diminishing role of the monarchy in governance. The Reform Acts expanded the electorate, giving more power to the elected Parliament, which began to assert its authority over royal prerogatives. Additionally, the monarchy adopted a more symbolic role, focusing on representing the nation rather than directly influencing politics, which further reduced its political power. As a result, Queen Victoria's reign marked a transition towards a constitutional monarchy where the monarch's role was largely ceremonial.

How and when did swaziland become a monarchy government?

Swaziland, now known as Eswatini, became a monarchy in the late 19th century when King Mswati II, who reigned from 1840 to 1865, solidified the kingdom's authority. The monarchy was further entrenched in the early 20th century when British colonial rule was established, recognizing the king's traditional powers while placing the country under British protection. Eswatini officially became a constitutional monarchy in 2005, when King Mswati III introduced a new constitution that defined the monarchy's role within the government. The monarchy remains a central aspect of Eswatini's political system today.

Why is monarchy so strong in England?

The monarchy in Britain (not England) is not strong or powerful. In terms of political power, the British monarchy is actually quite weak. The King or Queen does little more that officiate ceremonies and serve as a rubber-stamp for the views and ideals of the British Parliament. His/her political views are largely unknown and unimportant.As for why the institution of the monarchy remains, the laws of the United Kingdom function in such a way that a number of traditions have simply become law without an official codification. As a result, traditions in their own right have legal standing. The monarchy is one such tradition and remains because of its traditional presence.
