Do you want the quick rundown or long one?

Jokes aside, they were just butthurt that Sonia’s book claimed the heroes of Galar were Pokémon and not their ancestors because they’re entire claim to fame and livelihood revolves around being direct descendants of royalty. They were forcefully triggering Dynamaxing on random wild Pokémon to distract everyone while they gathered enough wishing stones to theoretically force Zacian/Zamazenta to Dynamax and go on a rampage, at which point they’d show up and defeat it and to everyone else it would look as if Sonia’s book was wrong and they were both the true kings and the region’s saviours. Their plan fails because they were wrong, but they gracefully accept their punishment and commend you for being a true hero and stopping them from causing more damage.

tl;dr they’re based

Why? The whole point is that they're "kings" as much as any claimant is in a nation that no longer has a monarchy. Calling them kings of Galar is like calling Jean-Christophe Napoleon Bonaparte, the current head of the House of Bonaparte, "King of France."

They talk about local government (mayors, etc.), but you're right. I always just assume there are off-screen "regional governors" and that, otherwise, there aren't really democratic elections, seeing as every significant figure seems to be part of a long-standing family or is in charge because they're just the strongest trainer.
