How can you be pro monarchy, and at the same time question its validity?
By considering what type of monarchy, how far it reaches, its history, its ability to be questioned, ect.
We should all be monarchs of our own lives, amirite?

Uh, no, that's not how monarchy works. I am a monarch because I was born to a monarch family. That's it. Yes, the system is stupid that way.

Well, no.  Vatican City is a monarchy, though Pope's dad wasn't Papa Pope.  You're thinking of hereditary rule, but even then there are caveats -- just one monarch at a time.  So before getting comfy on the throne, make sure that:
 -Papa king is dead
 -Mom doesn't weasel in, becoming queen regent
 -You're not daffy, allowing for other regents
 -You are the oldest bro, or have offed your older male siblings
I'm sure there's more, but that there's a start.

   The King Is Dead!  Long Live The King!
