Royalty in Qatar
The Al Thani family has reigned in Qatar since the early 19th century. The current emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, has ruled since he deposed his father, Khalifa bin Hamad Al Thani, in 1995. Sheikh Hamad and his wife Sheikha Mozah reportedly have seven children, including the heir to the throne, Crown Prince Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani.
