The Monarch would have to be elected, and would rule for life. When the monarch's reign is over, his family proposes a candidate, along with other people. Depending on the result, the ruling dynasty or another could win. The Monarch cannot have any connections to the financial system(as in, being a bank executive or employee, be a stock investor, receiving donations, etc.), along with his family. If any royal wishes to have connections to the system, they would have to resign to their royal position and to all its benefits.

Plus, who doesn't like decor?

In my opinion, giving someone executive powers for life is also pretty much calling for the establishment of a dictatorship. If you don't give the monarch those powers, like the parliamentary monarchies in Europe, you end up with an expensive figurehead who is there pretty much because of tradition. Why would you pay someone with taxpayer money to just be there looking elegant?

About the "Unionese" system, I'll address that in another thread.

I'm a Republican these days (not the US party, I should stress) and even though I agree that the expense of the British Royal family is exorbitant and unjust, I feel the need to defend our Queen. She is actually very hard working and has been the best diplomat the UK has ever had. That's one of the reasons why I wouldn't push for a British Republic until she's gone.
