Description
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles
available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Regency Acts
are Acts of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed at various
times, to provide a regent if the reigning monarch were to be
incapacitated or a minor (under the age of 18). Prior to 1937, regency
acts were passed only when necessary to deal with a specific situation.
In 1937, the Regency Act 1937 made general provision for a regent, and
also established the office of Counsellor of State, several of whom
would act on the monarch's behalf when the monarch was temporarily
absent from the realm. This Act is the main regency act in force today.
An example of a pre-1937 regency act was the Act of 1811 which allowed
George, Prince of Wales to act as regent while his father, King George
III, was incapacitated. George ruled as the Prince Regent until his
father's death, when he ascended the throne as King George IV.
