No. Brazil is a federative republic. It was an empire until 1889 though, so it did have a royal family. This family has living descendants, but they don't live in Brazil, because the royal family was expelled from Brazil when the republic was settled (ending with the monarchy). Since that, Brazil is a federative republic. It means it has no kings or queens or any sort of royalty, and it has no prime minister. Brazil is governed by a president, just like in the United States.
The royal family fled to Brazil which was still a Portuguese colony at the time.
Pedro the II was exile from the royal court in Brazil because of his daughter who was acting as Brazil's regent abolished slavery. The royal family went into exile, escaping to Europe.

This led to significant political and social changes, including the elevation of Brazil's status and an influx of European culture and administration. In 1822, Brazil declared independence, largely influenced by the newfound autonomy and the royal family's presence, marking a shift from a colony to an independent nation.
The Portuguese Royal family fled to Brazil in 1808 to escape the Napoleonic Wars and the threat posed by French troops invading Portugal. The decision was made to ensure the continuity of the Portuguese monarchy and governance during a time of crisis. Their arrival in Brazil also marked the beginning of its transformation into a significant political and cultural center within the Portuguese Empire. This move ultimately laid the groundwork for Brazil's eventual independence in 1822.
Basically, his dad was the king of Portugal. Then the Royal family ran to Brazil because of the war. Then the Royal family went back to Portugal but D Pedro stayed because his father declared him sort of like the "prince in charge" (I don't really know what it's called, sorry). On September 7, 1822, he made Brazil independent from Portugal, becoming emperor.
