The
Kingdom of Hanover is a constitutional monarchy, and the
king is its Head of State. Unlike some constitutional
monarchies, such as the UK, the king of Hanover has
significant legal power: he can issue Royal Decrees and
Letters Patent, and appoint members of the government.
Hanover
has had three kings since it was founded in late 2002.
These have been King James , who now holds the honorary
title 'Duke of Marchmain', King Thomas, the Duke of
Brunswick, and King Alexander, who is still on the
throne. There is currently no designated heir to the
throne of Hanover.
