"Throne" in an abstract sense can also refer to the monarchy itself, an instance of metonymy, and is also used in many expressions such as "the power behind the throne".
A throne is a special ceremonial seat used by rulers like kings, queens, popes, or bishops during important official occasions. Beyond the physical chair itself, the word "throne" can also refer more broadly to the power and authority of a monarch, as seen in phrases like "the power behind the throne."
