Some monarchial countries in the world include the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and Thailand. Each of these countries has a monarch as its head of state, with varying degrees of political power and influence.
In a constitutional monarchy, people typically do not vote directly for the prime minister. Instead, the prime minister is usually appointed by the monarch or by the parliament, depending on the country's specific system. Voters often elect members of parliament, and the leader of the majority party or coalition is chosen as the prime minister.
Some countries with hereditary leadership systems include Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Japan. These countries have monarchies or ruling families where leadership is passed down through generations within a specific family line.
Monarchism is a political ideology that supports a system of government led by a single ruler, usually a monarch such as a king or queen. It often emphasizes stability, continuity, and tradition, as well as a hierarchical social order. Monarchism can be found in both absolute monarchies and constitutional monarchies.
Royalty can play a symbolic role in international affairs by representing their country on diplomatic visits and state functions. They can also serve as ambassadors promoting cultural ties and trade relationships between nations. However, their direct political influence is typically limited in modern constitutional monarchies.

A [constitutional] monarchy can be both a unitary and a federal form of government. There are contemporary [federal] constitutional monarchies in some countries (Malaysia, Bhutan, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom), and unitary constitutional monarchies in others (Australia, Belize, Belgium, Solomon Islands). It is more of a technicality whether or not you can classify certain monarchies as unitary or federal in the modern day governmental system.
Yes, all three are parliamentary constitutional monarchies and are considered 'democratic'.
The underlying assumption of this question, which is that constitutional monarchies are considered democracies by dint of being constitutional monarchies, is false. "Constitutional Monarchy" simply means that the power of the monarch (king) is limited by a constitution. This constitution can be enforced by some kind of oligarchy, aristocracy, or the common gentry. If the constitution is enforced by an oligarchy or aristocracy, the resulting state is not a democracy, whereas if it is enforced by the common gentry, it is democratic.Now, since almost all current constitutional monarchies are of this latter variety (monarchies with a constitution enforced by common people), people generally drop the intermediate step of separating non-democratic constitutional monarchies from democratic constitutional monarchies and refer to constitutional monarchies as a form of democracy.

Why are you asking dozens and dozens of questions about constitutional monarchies? And why ask a stupid question like this one? France and US both kicked their monarchies out and then wrote a constitution. There has not been a constitutional monarch in either country.
This depends of the country. Political power may belong entirely to the monarch, entirely to a parliament, or somewhere in between. Countries where there are no restrictions on the power of the monarch are called absolute monarchies, whereas countries where restrictions exist are called constitutional monarchies.
