Kings are Heads of State of countries, and internationally, the political and economic importance and power of a given Kingdom reflects on its King. Within a Kingdom itself, the importance mostly depend on the formal an traditional powers of the King : some are Commander-in-chief of the national army, others not; some can appoint ministers and high public servants, others not. And then there is the matter of personal prestige: older and longer-serving king usually have much of it as long as they don't get involved in scandals - like the Kings of Spain and of Sweden. And then some are worshipped as Gods, like the rulers of Japan and Thailand.

So there's a lot of factors. Today's most 'important' royal House in the eyes of many is the House of Windsor, the royal family of Britain. They have an 'importance' factor that's uniquely their own: the Queen is not only Queen of Great Britain, but also of a lot of other countries, all former colonies (now called 'Commonwealth partners') like Australia and Canada. The English Kings even used to be King of what is now the USA. That gives them an international prestige unmatched by any other royal House, even though the British Monarchs do not have many formal powers left.
