In monarchy, people with royal blood are the Schelling points. If you vote for someone without royal blood, other people may prefer someone else without royal blood… there are millions of options, the fighting will never end.
Also, we shouldn’t ignore the part where many other countries are ruled by our king’s close family. What will they do after we overthrow the king and replace him with some plebeian?

(By the way, Trump is probably a bad example to use in this analogy. I think in 2017 many of his voters considered him an example of someone who doesn’t have the “royal blood”, i.e. the support of either party’s establishment; unlike Hillary literally-a-relative-of-another-president Clinton.)
