Modern democracy may be run by elites but at least it's not based on blood lines like the monarchies we had for centuries. Some of those princes were mentally retarded but they were still heir to the throne.
OTOH, Saudi Arabia is doing pretty well run by the royal family. Of course those Muslims royals had the advantage of 4 wives pumping out tons of royal children.

Maybe not bloodlines but there is a bit of " inbreeding". Same schools, close relationships, etc. The Bushes are an example of this in our country and the Foreign Policy establishment as well. The higher ups in State in terms of the high ranking bureaucrats to a large extent are filled with family types. You might get someone from the outside like Kissinger but if you remember Peach Mint I all of a sudden you start hearing from these high level career issues and if you took a deep dive into the backgrounds, you'll find very few levels of degree of separation. If you saw the movie The Good Shepherd it really kind of goes into this. Dad is CIA....Junior becomes CIA
The same can be said of Whitehall in the UK.
