- defrost 3y agoA monarch is a person (or a type of butterfly) that can travel and reside in various countries. A monarchy is an abstract system instantiated within the country to which it applies. The monarchy of Canada does not reside in the UK .. perhaps you're thinking of the current appointed monarch.
- salamanderss 3y agoAn abstract system has no physical location. The actual monarch, the flesh leading it, is in the UK.
- defrost 3y agoThis statementof yours: > The monarchy of Canada is the monarchy in the UK. is false.
- salamanderss 3y agoYou're right. The Canadian armed forces swear allegiance to the monarch of Canada in the UK, the same man not coincidentally currently monarch of UK. The monarchy of Canada, an abstract idea nebulously exists perhaps everywhere (including in the UK) or nowhere depending on how you consider abstract ideas.
- defrost 3y ago> the same man not coincidentally currently monarch of UK. As it so happens for the moment. It's not a bound requirement that such be the case .. as any true student of the history of Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, England, and the Union would well be aware of.
