I don't understand what a constitutional monarchy is. You can either have a constitutional government, or you can have a monorachy. You can't have both. That is kind of like haveing jumbo shrimp, you just don't.

It is possible and plausible to have peaceful change of government in a constitutional monarchy. The United Kingdom changes government in accordance to the will of the electorate. The prime minister is usually the leader of the party in Parliament's House of Commons with the most members.

Even though, the monarch is barred from participating in elections, under the guise of impartiality, the new prime minister must literally beg permission from the monarch (on bended knee, no less) to form a government, which will rule in the monarch's name. In all modern cases, the monarch confers such power unto the new prime minister, because it is the will of the people. I suppose if the monarch refused the new prime minister's request, Parliament would be obliged to call for new national elections (or perhaps rethink the monarchy altogether). There is no seeming precedent for this occurrence, however.

The prime minister is obliged to receive guidance from the monarch in all areas of government, whether or not he/she heeds it.

Assuming the actual form of government is parliamentary, like in the UK, the Scandinavian countries, or Spain, it is certainly possible.

Without addressing any specifics of the Norwegian (for example) constitution of which I am unaware, it would only require a majority in Parliament. I'm not sure, but I don't think the assent of the Crown is even needed in the UK anymore.
