Isn't it a tad unwise to choose a new monarch who is already 79? He'll die or go senile before he can do anything significant. I don't see how a kingdom is served by having a new ruler every 10 years.
This provides the monarchy with greater legitimacy as an institution, rather than as individual politicians. A monarchy without short terms looks more like a dictatorship.
