Presumably, a life-long monarch would enhance political stability.

In Finland, already one of the most politically stable countries in the world?

There’s no discernible difference on this count between Finland and its Nordic peers that are constitutional monarchies.

If we agree to measure political stability as world bank does, the only countries more politically stable in the world than Finland in 2015 were Switzerland and New Zealand.

I fail to see how making Finland more stable would improve anything, or that adding a monarch would achieve this goal.

Royalism sounds like the hunt for a silver bullet that would fix complex problems and institutions in a society. I don't think there is any evidence quasi-religion by itself improves institutions.
