Should've been “who kept their position of power”. There's this illusion that the UK was some sort of rock solid monarchy and always has been. That illusion was forged then, that is the illusion of the UK, and it is a tradition invented to make the monarchy a bit more stable. In other words it benefited those in power; because the alternative -from their perspective- was their heads on public display severed from their body.
