Who is the youngest reigning monarch in the world?

The youngest reigning monarch is King Mswati III of Swaziland (b. April 19, 1968). He was crowned on April 25, 1986, at the age of 18. In Swaziland it is customary for the line of succession to be passed to the youngest son, rather than the first-born, to improve the chances of a long reign. http://dynamicitems.tripod.com/records_humanachievements_earlystartes.htm May 09 08, 5:12 AM

"Rukirabasaija Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, King Oyo, is the reigning Omukama of Toro, in Uganda. He was born on 16th April 1992 to King Patrick David Mathew Kaboyo Olimi III and Queen Best Kemigisa Kaboyo. Three and half years later in 1995, Oyo ascended the throne and succeeded his father to become the 12th ruler of the 180 year old Kingdom of Toro. He is currently the youngest ruling monarch and went down in the Guinness Book of records, taking the place of King Mswati of Swaziland who was crowned at 18 years of age." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rukidi_IV_of_Toro May 09 08, 5:23 AM
