The monarchy of Aquitayne, commonly referred to as simply the monarchy, is the constitutional monarchy of Aquitayne, and the United Kingdom. It also previously included all of Aquitayne's overseas territories. The current monarch and head of state is Samuel Reich, who ascended to the throne in 2012 after the death of his father.

The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. The monarchy must complete their duties in a non-partisan manner, upholding only their belief the action is good for the kingdom. The monarch is required to appoint the prime minister, as well as bestow honors. The monarch is also the head of the Aquitaynian armed forces. The monarch ultimately has sole discretion over the use of the nation's armed services through their royal prerogative, and the same stands for the passage of legislation through parliament, which requires royal assent. The Government of Aquitayne is known as His Majesty's Government.
