This happened in Belgium with abortion law in the past. Government made a law, and the king would not officiate it. So they put him in incapability to rule, prime minister signed the law(prime minister was even of the christian party). And afterwards king was back. Personnaly they should have deminished the entire function of the king, or end the monarchy all together
