It depends on what country’s royal family you are talking about.

For example here in the UK, the head of state has political power in the form of vetting (something Elizabeth II did with more than 1,000 laws via something called Queen’s/King’s Consent).

Queen’s/King’s Consent is a parliamentary convention under which Crown consent is sought whenever a proposed parliamentary bill will affect the Crown’s own prerogatives or interests.
