I had no idea your country was a monarchy. This is news to me.

It's in the name. Monarchic Republic.

Basically, in 1823, the Bloodless Revolution happened. The Queen at the time, in order to save her own hide, compromised with the revolutionaries: a near-powerless Monarchy, with privilege limited solely to the Monarch, their spouse, and their children; plus am abolishment of the peerage system. All nobles were stripped of land, power, and title. In return, the Queen and her line stayed alive.
