Umberto II was the last king of Italy and served for only a month after Victor Emmanuel III abdicated in 1946. The English equivalent is Humbert. He died in 1983.
Him being deposed ushered in a fractious democracy which ushers in a new Prime Minister about as often as I change my underwear. They have had 69 governments since WWII, averaging about one per year.
