Asked about Melech in Yaaleh v'Yavo in Bentsching...

The rule is that no Malchus other than David's is allowed in that brachah

And Yaaleh v'yavo is inserted into that brachah

So now you have a classic conflict

A rule - no malchus in Rachem

Vs. The Nusach as is.

Some hold the rule trumps the nusach and it must give way and drop the
"melech"

Others hold that the nusach is exempt from this rule, because the rule
really is not concerned with yaaleh v'yavo when it is imported as a unit.

The common minhag AFAIK is to leave yaaleh v'yavo alone. But it could
go either way.
