It started out as being ruled by a ruling family, and those are basically dictatorships. The idea of peoples rights only new in human history. It is also false to think that Greece and Rome were the seat of modern democracy. They certainly had "senates" but they were, like England, ruled by a ruling family.
This was the actual first attempt at "we the people" in England rule, although it did not last.

It should be said that the current Queen has "technical" absolute rule, but she knows her history. I do hate however, when our American right wing point to the Magna Carta.
Currently England treats it's "Royalty" as more of a living museum family. But also the Queen can't be voted out of office like an American President.
The Queen can’t be voted out of office because she doesn’t hold an office.

Not currently. But most of England's royal power has been from the family in the entire history. Today's royals, like I said before act more as living museum pieces. She still acts as a diplomat.
