The possibility of abdicating the throne
Since there are times when the monarch is in power for the most part. Which may have various effects on the country With the public speculating on various reasons Where the King of the Queensland Kingdom abdicates The primary reasons for the abdication are "sickness" and "domestic problems".

Which requires the regent to come up if 2 months have passed, no public presence The government will have a resolution to immediately discharge from office. But King George I decided to abdicate and give to his sister, Queen Victoria II ascends the throne instead.
