Vatican City does not have a monarch. Its head of state is the Pope, currently Pope Francis.
Clarification:
While he does not go by the title of 'King' Pope Francis is a monarch, the last absolute monarchy in the world. It is not a hereditary monarchy, however. He is chosen through an election by the College of Cardinals. The day to day administration of the Vatican is done by a committee led by a president and vice president. The Pope, however, has absolute veto power.
