There are three African countries that are run by monarchies and earn the title 'Kingdom'. They are Lesotho, Morocco and Swaziland.
Lesotho and Morocco have constitutional monarchies, meaning that the monarch is also the head of state by the laws of the constitution. The United Kingdom, Spain, Denmark and Sweden are examples of constitutional monarchies.
Swaziland, however, has an absolute monarchy, so that the monarch shares the titles of head of state and head of government, not restricted by a constitution or law. Along with Brunei, Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia, Swaziland is the only current absolute monarchy, and is the only non-Islamic absolute monarchy.
Previous African monarchies included Zululand in South Africa, Ashanti in Ghana and varying sub-national monarchies in present-day Uganda.
