king that personally owns more of the world's real estate than any other human

Pure hysterics. He isn’t even the biggest landowner in the UK. He personally owns 46,000 hectares, while Anders Holch Povlsen owns 89,000.

shielded his child abusing brother for decades before finally relenting to public pressure with the utmost reluctance.

How did he “shield” him for decades? Charles has always resented Andrew and got rid of him as soon as he became King. Certainly without reluctance and probably with a spring in his step.

he can and will break that agreement and exceed that authority whenever he feels like it and the worst that'll happen to him is being criticized by some of the press for a while.

As Parliament has proven in the past they can make a King suffer for thinking about exceeding constitutional boundaries.

ever hear of a little thing called the House of Lords

Which is an upper house mainly appointed by governments. It’s democratic, but not the form of democracy some people want.

in the case of the UK monarchy, it's wasting billions in public resources.

Citation needed. The British monarchy (at £85m annual cost) is significantly cheaper than the French Presidency (£94m, excl. lifetime pension) for example.
