Some present monarchy is the current British monarchy. (another examples would be Spain and Sweden).

What remained the same:
-it's hereditary
-it's for life
-a queen or king can resign and we still call it "abdicate"
-the oldest child of the current monarch is likely to be the next in line

What has changed
-it's now largely a representative position, devoid of power
-most countries now allow female queens (unlike in the past)
-some of the princes and princesses attend public schools
