The monarchy of Granby, commonly referred to as the Granbian monarchy, is the constitutional monarchy of Granby. The current monarch and head of state, Mark, created, and ascended to the throne 27 March 2024.
The monarch and the royal family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. As the monarchy is constitutional, the monarch is limited to non-partisan functions such as bestowing honours and appointing the Prime Minister. The monarch is Commander-in-Chief of the Granbian Armed Forces. Though the ultimate formal executive authority over the government of Granby is still by and through the monarch's royal prerogative, these powers may only be used according to laws enacted in Parliament and, in practice, within the constraints of convention and precedent.
