Countries like Australia, NZ, UK, Canada, Norway, Spain and many others are what we call constitutional monarchies.

There is no technical definition of the term, but essentially the nation’s constitution recognises a head of state.

Australia has a King named King Charles of Australia who is very seperate from King Charles of New Zealand or King Charles of the UK.
