United Kingdom: how should the monarchy be organized if Charles III was unable to govern?. King Charles III announced Monday evening, via a press release from Buckingham Palace, that he was suffering from cancer.
His illness could have consequences on the functioning of the British monarchy and the exercise of power, particularly if his condition worsened. A law adopted in 1937, called "the Regency Act" rules on the subject and discusses the protocol to follow to determine the total or partial impossibility for the monarch to carry out his functions.
