Prince Daniel as Regent?

[Blue_Stocking]

I know this is going to come across as stupid question but, it has been bugging me fo while, (I can't find an anwser on the net), and I wondered some one here might know so I thought I'd ask it anyway.

Can Daniel act as regent if nessicary (now or later on) or would CP and Madiline out rank him? I read in a Swedish paper, (DN if I remember rightly), that Daniel is entitled to an equiry because his not directly in line to throne does the same rule apply to the subject of who can/can't be regent.

Prince Daniel can not be a regent.

Nope he cant is the short answer.

The long answer is:
The regent if the higher rankings are unavalible is
Victoria
Carl-Philip
Madeleine

Then we move to the political spectrum
Speaker of the house
PM

What if God forbid Victoria dies after she becomes Queen?... Because in other countries the "Queen Consort" acts as regent if the heir is underage..

Then Carl-Philip acts as the consort until her child comes of ages.

I think you mean regent..
consort is the spouse.
CP being the Daniel's consort would have been interesting though

Are we sure that it would be CP?
Why can Daniel not be regent for his own children?

In the Netherlands Queen Emma was regent for Queen Wilhelmina until she became 18. And Emma was a queen consort.

According to the rules of swedish succession it will be Carl-Philip since he is the next in line. I have asked som scholars on this

And that is how it usually is - a regent must be in line for the throne themselves to be regent on behalf of an underage person. Sometimes though, a law/bill will be passed to allow someone who is not in line for the throne but has a close connection with the individual who is the monarch to be regent, usually the consort of the last monarch (for instance, Queen Emma was regent for Queen Wilhelmina in the Netherlands).

I believe Queen Ingrid of Denmark was also given the ability to be 'rigsforstander' (another Danish version of regent - only the heir can be regent, everyone else is rigsforstander) while Crown Prince Frederik was under 18 because there were only two people in the line of succession who were of age - Princesses Benedikte and Elisabeth.

An interesting question, it's nice to get an answer.

Thanks for all the anwsers everyone. You've all made things much clearer for me.

Several posts discussing the Swedish line of succession, not a possible stint as Regent for Daniel, have been moved to the Swedish Line of Succession thread.

That would certainly be an interesting arrangement.
