Cromwell found it really quite straight forward to abolish the monarchy. The bit afterwards he did not do so well.

On the contrary, whilst he managed to abolish a monarch, he failed to abolish the institution of the monarchy so spectacularly that people kept offering the crown to him until he died, at which point the original line of succession was restored without any effective objections...

Nonsense. Cromwell had to fight and win a very bloody civil war to abolish the monarchy. Despite that it was still restored after his death.

The Right of Parliament controls the constitution of the UK and has done since the Glorious Revolution of 1688, not the current reigning monarch.
