Monarcho-Socialism, often shortened to MonSoc, is a authoritarian left culturally variable ideology. Despite how he is often portrayed, he doesn't support the king as the leader of the revolution in most cases, instead preferring to have the monarch as the constitutional head of state while the 
socialist government does the politicking.
History
The first arguably Monarcho-Socialist movement is the 
Mladorossism, although a lot of modern-day Monarcho-Socialists see that as more NazBol than MonSoc, which advocated for a Russian Monarchy under a soviet style system, under their motto "The Tsar and the Soviets!". Although there is some evidence that Mladorossi might just have been a Soviet puppet party to catch dissenters. After this rumor came out, the group disbanded fast.
The first movement that can be almost universally seen as Monarcho-Socialist is the 
Euskadi Carlism which resulted in the Carlist Party becoming more and more socialist in the image of Tito. While the Carlists are still considered a positive thing by most modern-day Monarcho-Socialists, some conservative elements may still be seen as controversial.
While some Monarcho-Socialists still support absolute-socialist monarchies. according to this poll around 28.4%, most Monarcho-Socialists support a Socialist Government under a Constitutional Monarchy. it is estimated that most MonSocs, at least the constitutionalists, think that Mladorossi does not properly represent modern-day Monarcho-Socialist interests. While the reasons to want a monarchy are divided between stuff like patriotism (although not nationalism) and stability, religious reasons are rarely mentioned. The countries they consider most likely to turn MonSoc if there was one, are countries like Norway, the Netherlands, and Spain if Carlism regains popularity.
Important sections of the Work in Progress MonSoc manifesto "The Case for the Compatibility of Monarchism and Socialism" (not linked here due to author request, since he prefers it to be linked when it's done, although private copies can easily be gotten by DM'ing him) are the "Volkskoning", a king who may he doesn't actively promote a socialist government (perhaps due to constitutional reasons) but also doesn't actively work against it (a prime example of a Volkskoning being Haakon VII of Norway) and the 4 Rights of the People, those rights being the Right of Organisation, Right of Self-Rule, Right of Education and Right of Equality.
Despite the memes, the Grenadan New Jewel Movement was not monarcho-socialist. They only kept the monarchy out of pragmatism.
Stylistic Notes
MonSoc is portrayed to some degree as a stereotypical king or another member of royalty, however, he is known to take a paternal role in regard to his people and vehemently defends their right to be protected from the oppressive nature of capitalism, often through his government.
MonSoc often claims he has "the divine right to destroy the bourgeoisie" in response to those who challenge his actions or views. Upon being asked about his stance on the Russian Civil War, MonSoc has claimed to have funded both sides, remarking that "both Lenin and the Tsar were based".
