Regency Act 1830
The Regency Act 1830 (1 Will.4 c.2) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom passed to cater for the event that King William IV died while the next person in line to the throne was not yet aged 18. It provided for a regency until the new monarch reached the age of 18, and also would have enabled a posthumous child of King William IV to replace Queen Victoria on the throne. However, the Act never came into force, because William was not survived by a legitimate child and Victoria became queen aged 18 in 1837.
==Reason for the Act==
When William IV became king in June 1830 he had no legitimate children who could inherit the throne on his death. Aged 64, he was the oldest person to ascend the British, English, Scottish or Irish thrones. His next younger brother, Prince Edward, had died in 1820 and so the next person in line to the throne was Edward's 11-year-old daughter, Princess Victoria. Therefore it was necessary to pass a law to provide for the government of the United Kingdom in case Victoria became queen while still under age, or in case William had a child who ascended while under 18. Parliament also decided to change the law about what would happen if William's wife, Adelaide of Saxe-Meiningen, gave birth to his child after he died and Victoria had already become queen.
