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.

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.

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.
