In Western countries, they survived mostly by transferring all real power to their Parliament and Governments, a thing that happenend largely in 1848 or shortly after. The royal families that maintained an active involvement in their countries' rule and military affairs almost without exeption did not survive subsequent political upheaval or a lost war; hence the major shake-out after WW 1. Only royal houses that stayed out of active rule and who took on a largely symbolic and ceremonial role as Head of State, survived.

In the (middle) east, surviving royal houses often still do have political power. That is either because they function within a olicharchy or because the King plays a major role in a country's religious traditions.

Explain the similarities and differences between the Monarchy and Constitutional Monarchy.?

Both monarchy and constitutional monarchy are systems of governance where a monarch serves as the head of state. In a traditional monarchy, the monarch holds absolute power and their authority is often derived from divine right or hereditary succession. In contrast, a constitutional monarchy limits the monarch's powers through a constitution or legal framework, allowing for a democratic system where political decisions are made by elected representatives. While both systems maintain a royal figure, the key difference lies in the distribution of power and the role of the monarchy in governance.
