Current reigning monarchs by length of reign

Current reigning monarchs by length of reign

This is a list of currently enthroned monarchs and lifelong leaders sorted by length of service.

Note that the list is not restricted to heads of state; for example, Sultan Abdul Helim Mu'adzam Shah is not the head of a sovereign state. This list also excludes rulers whose status as a true monarch is unknown. For example, Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama, has been the enthroned ruler of the exiled Tibetan government since November 17, 1950, which would have placed him above Elizabeth II; however, his position as a monarch remains controversial. Also, this list does not include former monarchies such as Michael of Romania.
