King Still King?

I'm not really sure what this prompt is supposed to mean. It's too vague for me to write anything meaningful that wouldn't feel hopelessly contrived. I'm going to take it as a question of whether or not leaders still function as monarchs. There are monarchies in the world I suppose, so some leaders must be monarchs. In other systems a case-by-case analysis is necessary. More charismatic leaders tend to achieve power akin to that of a monarch while others obviously do not.
