Letsie III, Lesotho (52)
Letsie III was crowned as King of Lesotho in 1990 after his father King Moshoeshoe II was forced into exile. After five years, his father returned and regained the kingdom until 1996, when he met a sudden death in a road accident. Letsie III was just 27 years old when he took the crown.
