Rulers
The line of monarch of the Solomon Islands - the office this state names as its head of state.
| Ruler | Reign | Length | How it ended · source | To the ruler before |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Elizabeth II | 1978 – 2022 | 44 years | died in office, manner not recordedread off the dates alone | |
| Charles III | 2022 – in office | in office since 2022 | still in office | child |
2 rulers, 2 with terms dated as terms, covering 1978 – 2022. Only 44 years of the line are dated - too short for a median. 1 of 1 handovers irregular - a killing, a deposition, a rival claimant, a rising or a coup beside it. A blank in the last column means no kin on record, which is coverage, never “unrelated”.
Heads of government
The line of Prime Minister of the Solomon Islands, drawn and never measured: a cabinet is not a reign.
