Monarchy

Mary Tudor's father King Henry VIII had declared the Church of England to be separated from the Roman Catholic Church and to be exclusively under the control of the English monarchy. Mary, having retained the Roman Catholic faith of her Spanish mother Catherine of Aragon, wanted to return control of the Church of England to the Pope in Rome and to restore Roman Catholicism throughout England. Upon the death of her 15-year-old half-brother King Edward VI in 1553, and following a brief attempted coup involving Henry's grand-niece Lady Jane Grey, Mary Tudor acceded to the throne as Mary I Queen of England. She immediately restored the Roman Catholic Church in England. She began a series of gruesome public executions of political and non-catholic religious enemies that lasted for the rest of her reign and earned her the nickname "Bloody Mary". Upon the death of Mary I at age 42 in 1558, she was succeeded on the throne by her half-sister Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn. Queen Elizabeth I immediately severed religious ties to the Roman Catholic Papacy and returned control of the Church of England to the English monarchy.

That is only if she wants to give the throne to Charles. She could bypass Charles and give it to William instead

A Coronation. The last coronation in the UK was in 1953 when Queen Elizabeth II was crowned. The next will be when she dies and her son Prince Charles becomes King Charles III.

This depends on what powers the monarch retains. If the monarch is an absolutist, monarchy will be in opposition to democracy. However, numerous monarchies are constitutional monarchies where the monarch has ceded some or most of his power to democratically elected institutions.
