nah, think about it. To abolish the monarchy we need to reform core articles of the constitution, that are harder to change and require referendums, 2/3 of the parliament, elections and a new vote by the new parliament (or something similar, I don't fully remember). Point is that legally changing that is almost impossible. Either the ideology of a sizeable part of the population changes drastically or there is a revolution for that to happen.

Revolutions start because people are starving or seriously oppressed.
Look at catalans, all riled up and puffed up and so ready to secede… and then they all go to work and have lunch.

The Catalan case is the perfect example of political manipulation, many separatists after living more than 4 years under the command of their "liberators" have seen that in reality they only wanted a piece of the cake, they do not care about Catalonia
