There are six monarchies in Oceania with an individual hereditary monarch, who is recognised as the head of state. Each is a constitutional monarchy: the sovereign inherits his or her office, usually keeps it until death or abdication, but is bound by laws and customs in the exercise of their powers. Five of these independent states share King Charles III as their head of state, making them part of a global grouping known as the Commonwealth realms; in addition, all monarchies of Oceania are members of the Commonwealth of Nations. The only sovereign monarchy in Oceania that does not share a monarch with another state is Tonga. Australia and New Zealand have dependencies within the region and outside it, although five non-sovereign constituent monarchs are recognized by New Zealand, Papua New Guinea and France.

The 1961 Statute of Wallis and Futuna, formally designated as Law No. 61-814 of July 29, 1961, conferred upon the islands of Wallis and Futuna the status of an overseas territory. This legislative act effectively transformed the protectorate of Wallis and Futuna into an overseas territory of the French Republic. The Pacific islands thus became an integral part of the French Republic, while retaining their distinct institutional characteristics. In addition to the French authorities, the traditional authorities, particularly the customary kings of Uvea, Alo, and Sigave, their ministers, and village chiefs, are officially recognized.
The customary kingdoms of Wallis and Futuna are a special subdivision of the French overseas collectivity of Wallis and Futuna. Officially recognized in 1961 by the French state in the statute of Wallis-et-Futuna, they are governed by the customary kings of Wallis-et-Futuna. This is the only subdivision of France that is still a kingdom. There are three kingdoms: Uvea, on the island of Wallis, and the kingdoms of Sigave and Alo on the islands of Futuna and Alofi. These kingdoms differ in history, politics, language, and flag. The kingdoms are called pule'aga sau in Futunian, meaning “king's domain”. The terms “kingdom” and “king” are French translations of Wallisian and Futunian terms, and do not fully reflect the Polynesian worldview; they are not kingdoms in the Western sense of the word.
