Question

Are there still kings to day? and if yes where?

Answer 1

For a start, Elizabeth II queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Elizabeth II is also the monarch of a number of other countries, each of which are independent but share a sovereign. This is called a “Personal Union”. The relevant countries are Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada, Grenada, Jamaica, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
