Its head must not be simply a titular head, because that would be like sticking a turnip, or a sack filled with straw, on top of the body.
The head, centre of thought, must control the actions of the body, and the body must move according to the head's commands - each movement complete and graceful.

 In a nod to the past, O'Malley becomes titular head of parish - The Boston Globe
ROME -- Pope Benedict XVI yesterday assigned Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley of Boston as the titular head of a parish directly across the street from the church overseen by O'Malley's predecessor, Cardinal Bernard F. Law.
The practice of assigning cardinals titular churches dates from the early days of the Catholic Church, when popes were advised by the clergy of Rome.
As a practical matter, the cardinals often wind up responsible for raising money at home to assist their titular parishes, because Roman churches are often poorly attended.

But the price for that method of selection is that the Head of State has had nothing but a symbolic role, because it would not be democratic to give substantive powers to officers of the state who do not derive their authority from the people or from the people's Parliament.
A Head of state directly elected by the people would be the most democratic of all.
This way the prestige of the office of the Head of State would be of great value for monitoring governance standards in the central departments of government.

 rediff.com: Arvind Lavakare on the President as a titular head
Narayanan, a Congress party man with distinct leftist leanings, was soon to mock the 'titular head' sobriquet as he encountered the BJP in power and almost seemed to exult in needling the ruling government till almost the other day.
Without checking the entire background, he was the one who issued with alacrity a public statement instructing an internationally embarrassed government to protect the minorities just because one of the Christian missionaries had, with his two sons, been put to a fiery death that day by fanatics in tribal Orissa.
It must be admitted that Narayanan's ingenuity in oft ruffling feathers without plucking them truly exposed the myth that the President of India was merely 'a titular head' or any of the other equivalent phrases.

The monarch is the titular head of state.
The Queen's function is largely ceremonial, but she does have some influence deriving from the traditional veneration of the House of Orange--from which Dutch monarchs for more than three centuries have been chosen; the personal qualities of the Queen; and her power to appoint the formateur, who forms the Council of Ministers following elections.

As to the king, in all the Year Books I have seen very little said of him that was not meant to be strictly and literally true of a man, of an Edward or a Henry.
Now as it is evident that King Edward is not (though Louis XIV may have been) the State, we seem to have statutory authority for holding that the State is "His Majesty".
