    Well I was curious and did a little reading. It seems mostly in name. Though Monarchies tend to have a dive right component where Dictatorships seem to more often arise from a coup d’etat.

      I live in a monarchy (Sweden) but the King does not control the country, and there’s no religious component to his position. I would not consider us a dictatorship.

        Also as with most monarchs these days. They are no longer the seat of political power. I don’t think most people would consider Sweden to be ruled by a monarch.
