Is Liechtenstein the only functioning monarchy in Europe, or is Monaco too?

Question

I know that in Liechtenstein the Prince has lots of control over governmental affairs. Is this the case in Monaco too?

Answer 1

Yes, Monaco is a functioning monarchy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco

Other European monarchies include The Netherlands, Belgium. Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Spain and Great Britain.  The role of the sovereign in those countries is defined by each individual country's constitution and laws.

Answer 2

The monarchy in Monaco is also pretty absolute, but a country can be a monarchy without being an absolute one.  There are quite a few constitutional monarchies in Europe: the United Kingdom, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Spain.  Note that not all these countries are kingdoms.  Monaco and Liechtenstein are principalities, and Luxembourg is a duchy.

Answer 3

The sovereign Prince of Monaco is a very powerful figure constitutionally.  I would argue Liechtenstein's Prince has more power.  In Monaco, the effective head of the (weak) Counsel of State is actually appointed by France.
