The Monarchy of Norden, officially the Monarchy of the Nordic Kingdom, and commonly referred to as the Nordic Monarchy is the monarchical and constitutional institution by which a hereditary sovereign rules as the head of state of the Nordic Kingdom and its dependent territories. The current monarch is Karl III who ascended the throne in 1971.
Historically, the Monarchy of Norden was an absolutist institution, with the monarch wielding significant political, economic, and military influence within the Nordic state. Though a legislative body in the form of the Rigsdagen existed, its political influence paled in comparison to the monarch. Throughout the Nineteenth Century, the Nordic monarchy gradually retreated from its position at the helm of state affairs, empowering the Rigsdagen and expanding the voting franchise. Nevertheless, as per the 1851 Parliamentary Constitution, the Nordic monarch retained significant political powers. These included: the right to declare war (and make peace), conclude treaties and alliances, accredit and receive foreign ambassadors, as well as represent the state overseas. The monarch also retained the power to convene the Rigsdagen as well as accede to the appointment of government officials and ministers. However, in the aftermath of the Great War and the abdication of Albert II the monarchy renounced most of its political privileges, becoming a ceremonial position in practice, whilst in theory, still retaining political power in the form of the royal prerogative.
