Royalty (monarchical systems)

Royalty refers to the royal family and system of governance in monarchical societies, where a king, queen, or monarch holds significant authority, often inherited through family lineage. Monarchs may serve as heads of state, embodying national unity and tradition. Their powers can vary; some have absolute control, while others, especially in constitutional monarchies, serve primarily ceremonial roles with limited authority, as governments handle day-to-day affairs. Royal families often represent cultural heritage, influencing customs and national identity, while also participating in diplomatic relations and charity efforts, fostering a sense of continuity and stability within society.
