How could the British monarchy be dismantled?

Given (?) That the monarchy is an anachronism in today's world, by what practical process could Britain successfully do away with it? However desirable that may seem, to me the physical, ethical and political difficulties look insurmountable.

That is some legendary gaslighting to convince a population that an alleged divine right of a select few inbreeding people living a life of luxury off of their backs is morally acceptable

@SW-User The 'convincing' was mostly done many centuries ago by force of arms. Today's population was born into the resulting entrenched and controlling sociopolitical system which they may or may not despise but from which there's no simple escape route - other than emigration to, say, Zimbabwe; which did get out from under the British monarchy but didn't exactly improve. (Sorry, no need for sarcastic irony. The devil made me do it 😁)
