Similar monarchist ideologies

Is it just me, or are there multiple arch-conservative monarchist ideologies out there? Spain has Carlism, the U.K. has Jacobitism, and France has Legitimism. Why are these ideologies so similar? They not only stand for the restoration of one family or another, but they also symbolize the primacy of the king under God and the defense of the ancien regime or some other such ultra-reactionary drabble. Are there any other countries with similar movements?
 
Well, Germany has at least four small conservative/traditional/Prussian movements to restore the Hohenzollerns to the throne (and the other houses of Germany) according to wikipedia. Italy has three similar groups and Russia has some small nationalist, anti-Semitic, counterrevolutionary movements which want to restore Orthodoxy and Autocracy (for example the Union of the Russian People).
 
Why are these ideologies so similar?
Because they derive from similar cultures and, by definition, similar concepts? If you want to restore a previously deposed dynasty, then one by definition is in at least one regard a reactionary. Add to that that the thing they are for in the first place is in much based on tradition... there's only so many ways you can vary it.
