        @BBCNews Emperors, kings, queens... Aren't these outdated concepts overdue to be left behind to history?

        @BBCNews He wouldn't necessarily need to abdicate if he chose a regency. Interesting.

        Well yes, but the whole point of a regency is he remains "Emperor" while the regent takes on his duties

        It's usually applied for small children, too young to be a monarch, who end up inheriting a kingdom anyways

        For example, if Prince George somehow became king today (that'd be a lot of dead royals..) he'd have a regency

        ...that both his age and the hints at a possible Regency are causing his duties to be failed. Postmodernist education, eh?

        Regency should have a capital R, and though some may frown on it, you need a comma after 'age'. The way you have it suggests...
