The same family (Nymphalidae, which contains most black and reddish butterflies). There they split; they belong to different geni (monarch: Danaus, viceroy: Limenitis). Thereby they are also different species, of course. They grew to look like eachother because both are poisonous, and they can maximize that profit by looking alike - if a bird eats either of them, it will avoid the other from then on, too.

Can you tell the difference between a monarch and viceroy in flight?

While both monarchs and viceroys are orange and black butterflies, there are subtle differences in their flight patterns. Monarchs typically have a slower, more graceful flight with flapping and gliding, while viceroys have a faster, more erratic flight pattern with rapid wingbeats. Observing these differences in flight behavior can help distinguish between the two species.
