Monarchism is the advocacy of the system of monarchy or monarchical rule.Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language, 1989 edition, p. 924. A monarchist is an individual who supports this form of government independent of any specific monarch, whereas one who supports a particular monarch is a royalist. Conversely, the opposition to monarchical rule is referred to as republicanism.
Depending on the country, a royalist may advocate for the rule of the person who sits on the throne, a regent, a pretender, or someone who would otherwise occupy the throne but has been deposed.
