The monarch being Commander in Chief is ceremonial. Everything is done on the advice of the Prime Minister and their cabinet.

The chance of the monarch overriding said request is less than 1%.

Even then, parliament is sovereign. Whilst the logistics are complicated due to how things are introduced to the house, if parliament says no to a prime ministers decision, it overrides anything the prime minister who has no absolute power like a president does.

Monarchists can't have it both ways, though. Making him a ceremonial CiC isn't going to provide you with much of a bulwark against abuse of power by parliament. Or he isn't ceremonial and he could become a threat himself.
