Royalist


A royalist manages a particular monarch as head of state for the particular kingdom, or of a particular dynastic claim. In the abstract, this position is royalism. it is distinct from monarchism, which advocates a monarchical system of government, but non necessarily a particular monarch. nearly often, the term royalist is applied to a supporter of a current regime or one that has been recently overthrown to draw a republic.

In the United Kingdom, today the term is most indistinguishable from "monarchist" because there are no significant rival claimants to the throne. Conversely, in 19th-century France, a royalist might be either a Legitimist, Bonapartist, or an Orléanist, all being monarchists.
