No, you're not wrong "Fantasy" is being used differently between the two of you.
Driving Crooner is using "Fantasy" to mean western medieval fantasy in the tradition of Tolkein.
In its broadest form fantasy of course has no particular relationship with monarchy. Diso Elysium is also in a fantasy world but certainly not monarchist.
Not sure if included on "western" but Japanese fantasy (anime and in special video games) draw a lot of elements from Tolkien fantasy settings too.
