Palace Coup

A "Palace Coup" is a strategic seizure of power within a political system that is executed through covert, elite-driven maneuvers within the existing leadership structure, distinguished from broader popular uprisings or military takeovers by its reliance on internal manipulation, institutional access, and minimal public disruption.
