I believe it's Japan. Here are two references:
http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/09/06/news/scene.php ("world's oldest monarchy...")

You have to remember alot of Royal families were disolved. The family line is still there with no power though. Almost every country has this. Here in Germany there are still people that live in castle homes but have no politaical or significant power like in Bavaria.Now if you are talking about ones that have titles or have a role. England, Japan, Luxumbourg, Saudi, Kuwait, just read the link for more info.
So your question is hard Do you count the ones that are still around or the ones that are around but don't have power?

That is a question for the archaeologist. No one will ever know.
Perhaps the rulers of "Atlantis".
