What?

Three heads of state who were living during the war? Or three heads of state who have served as head of state since the war?

My first two guesses didn't work out at all. Saudi King and Sultan of Brunei.

Maybe I'm in the ballpark with monarchs though.

If so they would have had to have been like 30 during the war and I can't imagine any Head of State being that young.

Yeah, I thought of Queen Elizabeth, but she wasn't coronated until the early 1950s.

It'd have to be a monarch of some sort, so I narrowed that in a Google search.

King of Romania and the Tsar of Bulgaria.

Yes, I Googled. Idgaf.

Not a clue, but it's probably some really obscure "Kings" of small nations that no one has ever really heard of who were under 25 years of age when WWII broke out.

Btw, the Dalai Lama wasn't enthroned until 1950. He technically doesn't count.

Don't ask me their names but the king of Romania and the Tsar of Bulgaria are the only two remaining heads of state from WWII still around that I am aware of. At least I think they're both still alive. No idea on who the third one that the OP mentioned is though.

There is no third.

It was a good trivia question though. Never thought about it before.
