Yes, it really is the monarch who dissolves Parliament as the United Kingdom is still a constitutional monarchy

And therefore a PM struggling with a Parliament which will not do his bidding can shut Parliament down, and there are no protections against that. Or a PM who does not want Parliament to debate something can block it, and there are no protections against that.

The King remains at the head of a triumverate of monarchy, Lords and Commoners which works well enough, for the most part.

The net worth of the Royal family was estimated at £21bn, at the time of King Charles' coronation two years ago. He also inherited a personal fortune of almost £400mn, substantially boosting his wealth fund to £2bn. The Crown Estate, which manages the monarchy’s property holdings, is valued at £15.6 bn and generated an estimated £312.7 million.

What people complain about is the inherited wealth.
