Crown Princess Appointed Regent During Queen’s Medical Procedure
OAKWOOD HOUSE — In accordance with constitutional protocol, Her Royal Highness Crown Princess Greta was formally appointed Regent of Ladonia for a period of 12 hours on Thursday, January 30, 2025, while Her Majesty The Queen underwent a scheduled medical procedure requiring general anesthesia.
The temporary transfer of royal authority was enacted by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm, issued by the Queen’s command and announced by His Grace the Duke of Southmoor, Minister for Home Affairs. The delegation of certain royal functions ensured continuity of governance during Her Majesty’s brief incapacity.
As Regent, Crown Princess Greta would have been empowered to undertake essential state duties on behalf of the Queen, should the need have arisen. However, no extraordinary matters of state required intervention during this period.


Her Majesty resumed full power and authority on Friday, January 31, 2025, following the successful completion of her procedure. Palace sources confirm that the Queen is recovering well.
The temporary appointment reflects standard constitutional practice, ensuring that a designated royal stands ready to act whenever the Sovereign is unable to exercise her duties, particularly in medical situations.
No further statements have been issued regarding Her Majesty’s health, but it is understood that she continues to receive routine post-operative care.
