Not all nations that have a constitution necessarily have a preamble. Many monarchies that have a constitution have no preamble. Because usually the preamble goes "We the people of". Whilst in a monarchy, the constitution officially and formally is bestowed by the monarch, not made by the people or their representatives. Even in cases where they are, the monarch is still the one officially bestowing it upon his subjects. And a preamble going "We, the King of this and Duke of that, bestow this constitution upon our loyal subjects" is rather dull. :|

It's a purely role-playing thing. You write one (most people, even most nations borrow from others and adapt it to their circumstances) and post it for reference. A Constitution is meant to provide a framework for your nations laws, outlining what responsibilities belong with various branches of government and what is forbidden to the government. Your mileage may vary.

Bear in mind, a Constitution is meant to be a legal framework, but your nation may ignore it at whim. The Soviet Socialist Republic of Russia wrote a Constitution that was vastly superior to that of the United States of America (they had the benefit of hindsight, since the US was among the first to draft such a document), but the ruling party essentially ignored it for the majority of the Soviet's seven decade rule.

As a Monarchy, we do not have a written constitution. What is referred to as a "constitution" in our Nation is more along the lines of a set legal precedents determined by Royal Warrant, Acts of Parliament, and by Judicial decisions.

We find written constitutions to be too inflexible and arbitrary.

Most modern monarchies have constitutions, either because they are modern creations (e.g., Netherlands) or are radically altered from their previous constitution (e.g., Japan). Having a living constitution isn't simply a monarchic prerogative, either: Israel has a living constitution.
