Describe the difference between France’s absolute monarchy system and England’s limited monarchy system?

In England the Monarchy has limited and mainly ceremonial powers over it's subjects by it's own constitution, in France when there was a monarchy before it became a republican type government with a Prime Ministers; the monarchy had more ample powers which I believe were later abused. The only absolute monarchies left in the world that I know are: Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the former known to be very decent to it's subjects and the latter known for numerous human rights violations.
