General Antonescu was appointed primer Minister for for the King Carol II.
Two days after his appoinment, he forced King Carol to abdicate.
Antonescu named himself CONDUCATOR ( leader) no elections for that. and assume full powers. The new King , the son of Carol ( who abdicate) was a decorative figure. Only in 1944 when every thing is lost. The king get support to put Antonescu under arrest.
In my opinion, that fi,t with the defintion of Dictador.
The "sole" presence of a King in the burocratic stablishment, dont means is not possible a dictatorship. Mussolini is exactly the same case. Italy had a king in Mussolini times.
may be the most legal of all this guys, was Hitler.
The source of the power of Hitler came from the people, at first by elections ( 2dn degree), and after that ( before the war) for huge popular suport. I mean Hitler get the power by politician, not for military, or by the force ( himself recognize the mistake of the Beer Hall putch as way to get the power).
Franco was another, who fit exactly like Dictator. He start a civil war, he get the power by fire, never conducted a party, and had his King too, for his purposes. The interesting about Franco is that he was the only who survive , and keep the power being fascist. Remain in the power until his dead, his grave is public a touristic place, and the postal stamps with his face were in use until last supplies and this was several years after his dead. The coins with the face of Franco ( pesetas) were the legal tender and use until Spain switch to the euro
