Switzerland has been a Republic since the early middle ages. There was a Swiss foreign legion, however, these were Swiss militiamen who, evidentally bored with domestic security- did serve and fight in various foreign wars- as in effect soldiers of fortune or mercenaries. Hence they were hired-out say- for battle duty in, say France or Germany. Inevitably, there were Swiss-versus-Swiss conflicts on the so-called Field of Honor ( the battlefield)- and the Swiss Government disbanded these out-country units. It is in a sense ironic that Swiss Guards are still retained as the Vatican police force- and the homeland has a staunch neutrality stance- but with armed citizen militia . Weaponry aside, Switzerland has been a Republic- so has no Royalty. I believe one of Napoleon's wives ( Marie Louise?) died and was buried in Switzerland but she was a Frenchwoman. It is stretching the glide ( pun intended) to say she was Swiss royalty! they don't have"em. (Schweitzer- which means, SWISS, is a well-known brand name of glider, hence I said stretching the glide).
