Also, I’m not sure to what extent this law is applied in practice.

as per the article general_effort posted:

The act – which makes it a criminal offence, punishable by life imprisonment, to advocate abolition of the monarchy in print, even by peaceful means – has not been deployed in a prosecution since 1879.

Its one of those laws that are on the books mostly becuase no one has got around to modifying it and removing the bits that are unused.
