1) The Nepalese example happened last year.
2) There have been many, many failed monarchies. Most of them are republics now. Passing the buck are we not?

With that a-side, actually the top ten richest countries 7 are Monarchies (the first three richest being Monarchies) and the most generous country is also a Monarchy.

This is just plain false: If you are talking about wealth in total GDP, then 6 of the top 10 are republics according to the IMF - the top being a republic (U.S.A.). If you are talking about per capita, then again, 6 of the 10 are republics according to the IMF.
As to generous, do you mean a nation giving most in aid? If it is government sponsored, it is hardly something to be proud of and another example of you being happy to support collectivism and socialism when it suits your argument. If you are talking about private donations, then I'm sorry, that goes to a republic yet again.
Furthermore, I am failing to understand the purpose of this argument (as I have stated in another post above). If you are claiming (as appears to be) that somehow monarchies have an inherent ability to create more wealth than republics then I'm going to sit back and wait for you to prove that in your next post.

The top 17 most Patriotic countries or as the stat states 'Will to fight for country" 9 of which are Monarchies and 8 Republics, and 8 of those 9 Monarchies are in the top 10 with the first 3 being Monarchies. Says a little something about loyalty doesn't it  . But then again you don't believe in being Loyal to your country do you.

Bingo. I don't place my loyalty into legal fictions, I am not a communitarian.
