We have that now, except the monarchs aren't publicly visible, so no one knows where to stage the peasant's revolt and who to stick in the choppy boi.
You don't have that, and you never have. As I said to CptLightning, even our shitty republican system has accountability where monarchism has none. Our aristocracies do change, and are even being challenged. Political change and accountability does and has existed to varying degrees. Feedback to rulers exists, where in a bad monarchy, it literally never does.
