Sure they can.

The monarch serves as the head of, or at the sole discretion of the head of, the state religion.

The latter case might not be regarded strictly as a monarchy, but the former case is clearly both a monarchy and a theocracy.

I believe that the section on the political organization of the Theocracy is sufficient to make it clear that it has no royalty. The closest thing would be the God-kin lineages, however, these do not wield political power directly by birthright but rather hold positions earned by meritorious service as elite warriors during the prime of their life.

I don't know that it needs to be added in the trivia that people from other nations are aware of this fact, it is hardly a secret even if the exact workings are not open to the public.
