It isn’t. Look at the monarchy’s in Europe(Great Britain,Denmark,Belgium). They all have democratic monarchys. A monarchy just means, that the head of state is a king, that isn’t elected. This doesn’t necessarily mean,that he has any say in politics.
No. Just look at Great Britain as an example. They are a parlamentaric monarchy. The head of state is the King/queen. He doesn’t has a say in politics, but represents the country. He isn’t elected. All laws passed in the UK are worked out and passed by the elected Parlament.
Being a republic just means, that the head of state isn’t a king/queen. It has nothing to do with democracy.
