The Lieutenant-representative (French: lieutenant-représentant) in Luxembourg is the title borne by the heir apparent to the throne during a period in which the reigning grand duke formally retains the throne but delegates to their heir the exercise of most constitutional powers to prepare them for their accession to the throne.[1] This practice has been customary since the reign of Grand Duchess Charlotte.[2]
Despite the lieutenant-representative's history as the title borne by the heir to the throne as they exercise the monarch's duties in preparation for the throne, Chapter I, Articles 6-8 of the Constitution of Luxembourg stipulates that a regent may be appointed in the event the reigning Grand Duke is a minor or is incapacitated.[1]
