A non-sovereign monarchy, subnational monarchy or constituent monarchy is one in which the head of the monarchical polity (whether a geographic territory or an ethnic group), and the polity itself, are subject to a temporal authority higher than their own. The constituent states of the German Empire provides a historical example; while the Zulu king, whose power derives from the Constitution of South Africa, is a contemporary one.
