The monarch is the highest level noble, and also the noble of the highest precedence. Rather than being promoted from within, like the baron, count, and duke, the monarch arrives as an immigrant from the previous capital. A male monarch is known as a "king" and a female as a "queen". Either may arrive with an opposite gendered "king consort" or "queen consort", as well as an entourage that can include elite military dwarves and ordinary workers.
You may check how close you are to meeting the requirements for a monarch's arrival by pressing n c after your fortress has reached a certain wealth. It is unclear exactly what these requirements are, but usually a fortress must be a metropolis.
When the monarch arrives, your fortress becomes the capital of your civilization. That means you will no longer receive visits from a dwarven liaison, nor can you give goods to dwarven caravans as offerings.
The monarch arrives at the same time as an immigration wave, but has an entirely separate entourage that can spawn from a different part of the map. The monarch's entourage consists of a group of dwarves with Legendary +5 skill in a random weapon (but no skill in Fighter), Accomplished skill in Dodger, Shield User, and Armor User, and the "doesn't really care about anything anymore" trait. This wave will arrive even if you have exceeded your population cap.
It may occur that your monarch is a several hundred years old vampire who had over 12000 kills before even arriving in the city. With that much experience, it is no wonder he is still king. It is also possible to have a king of a different race who has somehow come to rule the dwarves, for example an elven king.
Some monarchs have been known to drop dead as soon as they enter the map, especially in older fortresses.
