Still more powerful than us. Do you have a palace with a bunch of red coat guards? Does everyone on the planet know you and your family? Do you still worry about money and retirement and providing for your family? Would your life be turned upside down if you lost your job and couldn’t find something for a few years?
You just described the majority of heads of state. Except for the fame part (everyone on the planet knowing someone, even then, the Commonwealth Royal Family aren’t the only famous families)
I think heads of state are probably a little better off. They have influence and power to get new jobs and access to opportunities. Have you seen a poor person before?
The royal family aren’t too powerful de facto. At least Elizabeth II was quite down to earth and an excellent lady. Charles III isn’t too bad either

That’s my point.
