Lucky bastard.

Post if anything particularly interesting happens with your new noble and mountainhome status, as I've been trying to gather information on just what changes when it happens.

...do you guys find it rare to get a king?

I have a queen. My fort's 9 years old. I play at 7 FPS. It didn't feel like that long to get a monarch.

Honestly, I'm not trying to put down your excitement, congrats on that. But some of the others, more regular on these forums, seem to also be encouraging you to put your save up on DFFD so that people can download your fort and play with the king. I'm curious if it's rare to them, really.

I've never had a monarch arrive before, but it may because my population cap is too low; I always set it to around 110-ish. 
My forts tend to not last very longer than 5ish years or so, either.  If they're ultra successful, I move on to other pursuits.  If they are awful, they get obliterated one way or the other.

I'm curious too.  I'm only on my second fort and I have the option of becoming the capital.  I haven't taken it, because my duchess is being enough of a pain in the butt herself, but the option is there.

My understanding is that getting any nobles of baron status and above can be tricky because of bugs, but maybe I just got lucky?
