The kind of governments whereby kings and queens had been ruling has to change over the years. However, certain nations around the world have still maintained that kind of governance and in Africa we have three nations.

  1. Kingdom of Morocco

Mohammed VI is the current king of Morocco. He has been ruling since 1999 after the death of his father King Hassan II.

2.Kingdom of Eswatini

Mswati III is the king of Swaziland. He has been reigning since 1986 till now and heads the Swazi Royal Family.

3.Kingdom of Lesotho

Letsie III is the current king of Lesotho. He has been reigning since 1996. He succeeded his father, Moshoeshoe II, when the latter was forced into exile in 1990. His father was briefly restored in 1995 but soon died in a car crash in early 1996, and Letsie became king again.
