The U.S. has French speaking people too actually, in Louisiana.
No monarch though.

They (there are multiple dialects) aren't the same version of French spoken in France, but you're incorrect in saying that is not French. They do speak dialects of French.

Canada doesn't seem to like their better-looking and more popular neighbors from the south visiting 
Last time I was in Canada I was visiting a park in Ontario. One of the old geezers who worked there came up to us and asked "They have no parks in Michigan you can visit, eh?"

Ok, you're correct Han. I was taking a shot at those who have such a thick southern accent they are unitelligible

Assuming that they are intelligible to begin with...

Hmm. I know there's a big community of quebecers living in Florida. They're usually retired old folk though.

San Francisco had an emperor for a little while, does that count?

Crusty old farts are universal. We think of them as part of our charm.

Norton I, Emperor of These United States, and Protector of Mexico.
He even has a museum in San Francisco dedicated to him.

I know. My question was, do you know that from history courses/books, or from Lucky Luke? I knew it from the latter (never say comics aren't educational).

Yes, Cajuns. Weren't they originally from the Eastern Canada though?
On another not, there are some Francophones on the US side of the border regions between New England and Quebec.

History and comics (but not Lucky Luke.) I suppose Neil Gaiman deserves the most credit:

For the most part, yes. Southern Louisiana had been settled by immigrants from France, but the largest influx of French-speakers to the region was after New France fell to Britain at the close of the French and Indian War. So most of the modern descendants of the French in Louisiana are descended from immigrants from Canada, mainly what is now Nova Scotia and Eastern Quebec.

Shepard: "What are we having? Canadian delicacy of some sort?"
Kaidan: "Uh, sure. Exactly. We have beef, we have bacon, we have beer. The foods of my people".
Looks like I could get used to being canadian.
