: Thanks. I had read that clause, but I

: The Spanish constitution has a similar

: Except Denmark and Sweden, any other

: Crown Princess Regent? Is it necessary to
: appoint a regent when the King leaves the

: I have read the Swedish constitution and I
: have only found: " The Head of State
: shall consult the Prime Minister before

: Maybe I have not read it in another article

: The Swedish Crown Princess is not
: "appointed" Regent. She
: automatically takes over the King's duties
: when he is abroad. If both the King and the
: Crown Princess is abroad, Prince Carl Philip
: automatically takes over the King's duties
: since he is the first in line to the throne
: who has reach the age of 18.
:
: If there is no person in line of succession
: over 18, the King's duties is taken over by
: the Speaker of Parliament. I don't think
: that has ever happened. The King doesn't
: want to give people the impression that the
: country can do without the Royals and
: replace the King with a politician as Head
: of State.
