dethronizes
Strips royal power
Dethronizes is the third-person singular of dethronize, meaning to remove from a throne or position of power.
The word is a less common variant of dethrone: The revolution dethronizes the king.
Both literal and figurative uses apply—a monarch loses a crown, or a champion loses a title.
