I have just been looking at the newsreel footage of the assassination in Marseilles of King Alexander I of Yugoslavia.

My further research on Wiki revealed the odd fact that he had an heraldic eagle tattoed on his chest.

He was by no means the only tattoed monarch, but probably the only one with an heraldic design.
