The monarchy operates as an absolute monarchy, in which the current monarch exercises supreme governing authority as both the head of state and head of government. The animals of the Pride Lands serve as the subjects of the alpha lion, who, in turn, serves as the monarch.
Succession to the crown is hereditary, and the monarchy appears to have absolute (or equal) primogeniture, meaning that no gender is preferred over the other. However, as known in the case of Scar, a succession may occur due to a coup d'état.
The current monarch of the Pride Lands is Simba, and his heir apparent is Kiara. Kiara will be the first known queen regnant to rule the Pride Lands as opposed to queen consorts such as Sarabi or Nala.

Consorts[]
Consorts are mates chosen by the royal-blooded monarchs to rule at their sides. Originally, betrothals were chosen by parents, as dictated by tradition; presumably, neither the consorts nor the betrothals had a say in the matter until the reigning ruler died and the new ruler decided otherwise. This rule, as promised by Simba during his cubhood, was abolished once he took the throne.
