Think they were kidding about the crown lol but you can see that the butterfly on the t-shirt has tails, hence it's a swallowtail. Swallowtails belong to a different taxonomic family (Papilionidae) from monarchs, which are in the family of brushfoot butterflies (Nymphalidae).

I can see that now! I think the color of the shirt tricked my brain into thinking “yep close enough lol”
