Monarchy *is* government. Look it up. That's
why British monarchy is anachronistic. Because
the monarchy has endured but is not longer ruling.
You're flipping it around backward: The English
queen no longer has a governing role therefore
monarchy is not a form of government!

Quite a few other countries have a head of state who does not govern
(though usually "advises" - a sort of "elder statesman" role): the
German president, to give just one example. In a few cases, they are
even monarchs - I think the Spanish one, for example, is similarly a
"constitutional" monarchy.
