Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Prince Regent shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Prince Regent offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Prince Regent at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Prince Regent? Wrong! If the Prince Regent is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Prince Regent then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Prince Regent? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Prince Regent and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Prince Regent wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Prince Regent then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Prince Regent site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Prince Regent, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Prince Regent, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.
, who was Prince Regent while his father was mentally incapable between 1811 and 1820

A
prince regent (or prince-regent) is a
prince who rules a monarchy as Regent instead of a Monarch, e.g., due to the Sovereign's incapacity (minority or illness) or absence (remoteness, such as exile or long voyage, or simply no incumbent).While the term itself can have the generic meaning and refer to any prince who fills the role of regent, historically it has mainly been used to describe a small number of individual Princes who were Regents.
Prince Regent in the United Kingdom
In the English language the title
Prince Regent is most commonly associated with
George IV of the United Kingdom, who held the style
HRH The Prince Regent during the incapacity of his father, George III of the United Kingdom (see
Regent for other regents). Regent's Park and Regent Street in
London are named after him.
This period is known as the English Regency, or just the Regency.
The title was conferred by the
Regency Acts on
February 5,
1811. Subject to certain limitations for a period, the Prince Regent was able to exercise the full powers of the King. The precedent of the Regency Crisis of 1788 (from which George III recovered before it was necessary to appoint a Regent) was followed. The
Prince of Wales continued as regent until his father's death in 1820, when he became George IV.
Prince Regent in Germany
In Germany the title
Prinzregent (literally Prince Regent) is most commonly associated with Luitpold, Prince Regent of Bavaria who served as Regent for two of his nephews, King
Ludwig II of Bavaria, who was declared mentally incompetent in 1886, and King Otto of Bavaria (who had been declared insane in 1875) from 1886 until 1912.
The years of Luitpold's regency were marked by tremendous artistic and cultural activity in Bavaria where they are known after the regencies as the
Prinzregentenjahre or the
Prinzregentenzeit. Numerous streets in Bavarian cities and towns are called
Prinzregentenstrasse. Many institutions are named in Luitpold's honour, e.g. the
Prinzregententheater in Munich.
Prinzregententorte is a multi-layered cake with chocolate butter cream named in Luitpold's honour.
At Luitpold's death, in 1912, his son
Ludwig III of Bavaria succeeded as Prince Regent. Ludwig held the title for less than a year, since the Bavarian Legislature decided to recognise him as king.
Prince Regent in Belgium
- The first head of state of Belgium after it seceded from the Dutch monarchy was a regent, baron Erasme Louis Surlet de Chokier, in 1831, before the new nation, which chose to become a monarchy, had its first monarch, but not a prince
- Prince Charles of Belgium served as Prince Regent of Belgium from 1944 to 1950 during the German captivity and then exile to Switzerland of his brother, King Leopold III of Belgium.
Other notable Prince-regents
more prince-regents (often without such specific title) are to be found in Regent
- Wilhelm I of Germany served as regent from 1858 to 1861 for his older brother King Frederick William IV of Prussia, who had become mentally unfit to rule.
- Dorgon of the Qing Dynasty served as regent for his nephew, Emperor Shunzhi, from 1643 to 1650, because the latter was only six at the time of his ascension. Dorgon was instrumental in moving Manchu forces into Beijing in 1644, proclaiming the Qing dynasty to be the legitimate successor to the Ming Dynasty. In Qing Dynasty historical records, Dorgon was the first to be referred to as Shezhengwang 摄政王(The Prince Regent).
- Zaifeng, 2nd Prince Chun during the Qing Dynasty China, served as regent from 1908 to 1911 for his young son Puyi, the Xuantong Emperor. Apart from Dorgon, Zaifeng was the only person in Chinese history who was specifically referred to as Prince Regent.
- Emperor Shōwa served as regent from 1921 to 1926 for his ailing father, Emperor Taishō.
- Although other princes have served as regents (e.g. Prince Paul of Yugoslavia from 1934 to 1941), they are not necessarily referred to as "the Prince Regent."
- Michael Bates, "heir-apparent" to the micronation Principality of Sealand is referred to as its Prince Regent.
