The Royalists

Royalists are individuals who support the monarchy and want a king or queen to remain in power. Historically, they favor a government led by a royal family, believing it provides stability, continuity, and tradition. During periods of political conflict, such as the English Civil War in the 17th century, Royalists fought to defend the authority of the monarch against opposing groups who sought a republic or greater parliamentary power. Today, royalist support varies culturally and politically, often aligning with those who value monarchy as a symbol of national identity and history.
