ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Monarch

A monarch is someone who rules over a kingdom or a country. It’s like being the boss of a big group of people, but instead of a company, it’s a whole country!

They usually belong to a royal family and they inherit the position from their parents or grandparents. They wear special clothes and have a crown or a special hat on their head.

Monarchs have a lot of power and responsibilities. They make important decisions about laws, taxes, and how the country should be run. They also meet with other leaders from different countries to form alliances and discuss important matters that affect everyone.

Some countries have a king as their monarch, some have a queen, and others have both. They are usually highly respected and admired by their citizens.
