In a monarchy, power is passed through families. Princes become kings when their father (the king) dies or marries a princess, and princesses become queens if they marry a king, or if they are the only child to the king and queen.
Kings and queens need heirs in their family (like their children) in order to keep power in their family, instead of having it go to another family forever.
