    King Charles III of Canada

    As well as being King of the United Kingdom, Charles III is also monarch of 14 other realms - including Canada. Since he inherited the throne in 2022 there has been much discussion around the King's relationship with the other realms and territories where he's head of state. In recent weeks that conversation has been happening in Canada as the president of its neighbour, the United States, has expressed his wish for Canada to become 'the 51st state' of the USA. Up until now it's been the Canadian government responding to the White House but there have been calls for King Charles III to do more and defend the country he's head of state. All of this at a time when the King, on the advice of the British Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer, has invited President Donald Trump to a state visit in the UK. Can Charles reflect his role as King of Canada to Trump in any way? Or should he leave it to the new Canadian PM Mark Carney?

    King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck of Bhutan

    Nestled in between India and China is the Kingdom of Bhutan, one of the world’s newest monarchies. Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck is the country’s fifth king and when he became head of state in 2006 he was the world’s youngest monarch. The King oversees a nation that measures its success with happiness of a population and is being credited with innovative ways to ensure younger people don’t emigrate.

  3. Emperor Naruhito of Japan

    ٢ رمضان

    Emperor Naruhito of Japan

    Japan claims to have the oldest continuing monarchy in the world with an unbroken line from the same family for more than 2600 years. But there's a succession problem in the current Japanese imperial family as Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako only have one child, Princess Aiko, and Japan forbids women from inheriting the throne. The United Nations has suggested officials look at changing the law to make it more equal. Up until 1947 the Emperor of Japan was seen as a divine figure on Earth and worshipped by many, but a constitution change formally declared the emperor to be human. After Japan surrendered in World War II the role of the head of state was changed and the image the imperial household presents to the country is still struggling with traditional values versus a modern society.

    Pope Francis of The Vatican City

    This episode contains some discussion around sexual abuse in the second half of the episode, which may not be appropriate for all. As head of state of The Vatican City, Pope Francis is also a monarch. He is one of a handful of elected monarchs in the world, which also include Cambodia, Malayisa and United Arab Emirates. In this episode we look at the the Pope's role as a monarch, as well as leader of the Catholic church, and discuss the influence he has with other world leaders. We look at how a Pope is elected in a conclave and explore the changes he's brought to the church. This episode was recorded while Pope Francis is in hospital.

  5. King Harald V of Norway

    ١٧ شعبان

    King Harald V of Norway

    This episode contains some discussion around sexual assault allegations in the second half of the episode, which may not be appropriate for all. The King of Norway is one of the most-popular figures in the country but recent scandals surrounding the royal family suggest support is weakening. His daughter, Princess Märtha Louise, controversially married a self-styled shaman last year who has peddled conspiracy theories and faced a string of criminal accusations, which he denies. Late last year Marius Borg Høiby, the step-son of Crown Prince Haakon through his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit, was arrested following an allegation of rape, which he denies. In this episode we look at the impact those two huge stories in Norway have had on the monarchy, and discuss a 2016 speech King Harald gave that made headlines around the world. Plus we look at Norway's answer to The Crown, as Harold and Sonja - or The Commoner - is released on Amazon Prime, telling the story of how the now King and Queen were prevented from marrying for nearly a decade. Guests: Sindre Strand Offerdal, actor playing Crown Prince Harold Ole-Jorgen Schulsrud-Hansen, historian and TV2 royal commentator Hosted by Daniel Rosney Our email is: itsreigningmenpod@gmail.com The trailer for Harald and Sonja is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdvp1uKk114 ------------------ Thanks for listening to It’s Reigning Men - a brand new podcast about royalty, royal families, and monarchs of the world.

  6. Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg

    ١٠ شعبان

    Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg

    This year Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg should be marking 25 years on the throne but he's announced his intention to abdicate just one day before that milestone in October. In this episode we look at how one of the smallest, and richest, countries in the world views its monarchy and royal family. There have been two big tests for him as head of state. The first caused a constitutional crisis when he attempted to use his veto powers in 2008 against a euthanasia bill passed by parliament. The second was only five years ago when a government commissioned report said the monarchy's functioning must be reformed, in terms of staff management at the Palace. Much was made in Luxembourg of Henri's wife, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, who was responsible for much of the hiring and firing in the palace. Has Henri managed to keep the monarchy relevant to hand down to his son Prince Guillaume in October 2025?

  7. King Abdullah II of Jordan

    King Abdullah II of Jordan

    Most monarchs are groomed from birth as an heir but not for the Jordanian king who only discovered his fate two weeks before he inherited the throne. Situated in "a tough neighbourhood", Jordan is not just an important player in the middle-east region - it's also essential for the West that it remains stable. Since returning to the White House Donald Trump is demanding the country takes in more Palestinian refugees from Gaza, which Abdullah II is refusing. The US president is also pausing foreign aid to Jordan. We'll find out how the country is coping with an economic struggle, and learn how the Jordanian royal family are covered by the press. Plus how a 2021 alleged coup caused international headlines as a royal family rift hit boiling point.

    King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden

    Europe's longest-reigning monarch has seen the world change over the course of his reign. A constant figure since 1973, King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden lost his remaining political power within a year or so of becoming monarch. Has he been successful in remaining relevant as a ceremonial figure? We look at the data over 30 years to see what shape the Swedish royal family is in now. Plus we find out what it was like filming a documentary for two years with the king.
