What exactly is the regent's duties? Does a regent sign bills into law, i.e., give royal assent? Meet gov't leaders or diplomats, etc?
Today Crown Princess Mary has been appointed as regent in case her mother-in-law Queen Margrethe is absent/abroad or when her husband, Crown Prince Frederik is also absent/abroad.
