Strictly speaking, the ruler of a Moslem Kingdom (such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) is a King ("Mulk" in Arabic).

As concerns the religious leaders, the term Caliph ("Khalifa" in Arabic) refers to the head of the Sunni Islam, but his power diminished greatly after the transfer from the Rightly-Guided Caliphs to the Umayyad Caliphs in the late 600s. The last Caliph died without leaving an heir in Turkey in 1936. Today, religious scholars or ("Alim/Ulemaa" in Arabic) are regional leaders of the Islamic Religion.
This depends on what you mean by the word caliph. If you are referring to the rightfully guided Caliphs, who came right after the death of the Prophet Muhammad (S), then the last one, Hasan ibn Ali (RA) died in the year 50 After Hijra. There is debate about whether he or Ali ibn Abi Talib, his father, is the last of the rightfully guided Khalifas. Ali died in 40 AH. The Caliphate, however, was never officially abolished until the year 1924 AD, or 1343 AH. The last Caliph, Abdulmecid the second of the Ottoman Empire, was forced to abolish his title upon the formation of the Republic of Turkey.
