Royalists

Royalists are individuals or groups who support the monarchy and its authority, typically advocating for the preservation of a royal family and their traditional powers. Historically, Royalists have been associated with conflicts against republican or revolutionary movements, such as during the English Civil War in the 17th century, where they supported King Charles I. Their beliefs often emphasize loyalty to the sovereign and the idea that monarchy is a legitimate form of government, contrasting with democratic or republican ideologies that promote elected leadership. Royalism can also manifest in celebrations of royal events and heritage.
