Monarchy is still used in some Asian countries, several African countries, a bunch of middle eastern countries, there's even a north American country that is technically attached to a monarchy.
There are 43 countries are a sovereign state, with a monarch at its head. In addition to that there are 53 countries in the Commonwealth, of which Queen Elizabeth II is the head, and is reigning monarch of 16 of those countries.
Basically, close to half the countries on earth are either under a monarch, or are attached to a monarchy.
Constitutional monarchies have little to do with politics in the normal sense. For example, the Queen of England has no real political power, instead,
As Head of State, The Monarch undertakes constitutional and representational duties which have developed over one thousand years of history. In addition to these State duties, The Monarch has a less formal role as 'Head of Nation'. The Sovereign acts as a focus for national identity, unity and pride; gives a sense of stability and continuity; officially recognises success and excellence; and supports the ideal of voluntary service.
They are figureheads and role models.
Royal families are fascinating.
The royal family of Norway have been a continuous line since Harold Fairhair
Japan is the world's oldest extant continuous hereditary monarchy, dating back to 660BC, that's about 1000 years more than Norway!
Monarchies bring their countries enormous amounts of money from tourism. They are the original cult of celebrity, and are certainly a lot healthier to follow that the Kardashians (that is what you end up with people following when you don't have a monarchy). :p
