It is TRUE. You can have a constitutional monarchy, such as in the United Kingdom, where real power resides with elected officials, even though the country has a king and a queen. Similarly, Spain has a king, but real power is in the hands of elected officials. But then you have other countries where monarchs have dictatorial power. I believe you can find examples of these in the Middle East. So you see there are kings serving in somewhat ceremonial capacities in democratic countries, and you have kings literally ruling over the people in other countries. Both situations exist in our modern world.
