Counsellor of State
Encyclopedia : C : CO : COU : Counsellor of State
In the United Kingdom, Counsellors of State are senior members of the British royal family to whom the Monarch, presently Queen Elizabeth II, delegates certain state functions and powers when she is abroad or unavailable for other reasons (such as short-term incapacity or sickness). Any two Counsellors of State may attend Privy Council meetings, sign state documents or receive the credentials of new ambassadors to the United Kingdom. The only person to be a Counsellor of State and not be a Prince, Princess, or Queen-consort of the United Kingdom is George Lascelles, 7th Earl of Harewood.
The position of Counsellor of State was created in 1937 by the Regency Act 1937. The Counsellors of State are the consort of the monarch and the first four people in the line of succession who meet the qualifications. These qualifications are the same as those for a regent: they must be at least 21 years old (unless s/he is the heir-apparent or presumptive, in which case the requirement is 18 years), they must be domiciled in the United Kingdom, and they must be a British citizen. One exception was made for HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother (see below).
Currently, the Counsellors of State are HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, HRH The Prince of Wales, HRH Prince William of Wales, HRH Prince Henry of Wales, and HRH The Duke of York.
When the Prince of Wales becomes King, it is likely the Counsellors of State will be HRH The Princess Consort, HRH The Duke of Cornwall, HRH The Prince Henry, HRH The Duke of York, and HRH Princess Beatrice of York. If Princess Beatrice has not yet turned 21, the Earl of Wessex will be in her place.

Absences within Council: The Queen accompanied the King on his trip.
Notes: Since the Queen accompanied the King, she was technically not on the Council. However, she was listed among those in the Council. This created a problem, and was solved by the Regency Act 1943, which modified the Regency Act 1937, and said that if someone is absent and does not act as Counsellor, they will not be listed among the Counsellors. This was the first rule of the Council of State under the provisions of the Regency Act 1937.
Monarch: George VI
Absence: Trip to North Africa
Counsellors: HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal, HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught, HH Princess Maud, Countess of Southesk
Notes: HRH The Princess Elizabeth, the heiress-presumptive, was soon to turn 18. She would have been allowed to reign in her own right or act as a regent to her father on her 18th birthday; however, she could not act in the Council of State until she was 21. This was also fixed by the Regency Act 1943. This was Lady Southesk's only time she ruled in the Council of State.

Counsellors: HM The Queen, HRH The Princess Elizabeth, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal, HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught
Notes: Though at this time, Viscount Lascelles should have been a Counsellor of State, he was a prisoner of war. The regular solution would be for him to simply be not included among the Counsellors.

Absence: Trip to Canada and United States
Counsellors: (HM The Queen), HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Duke of Kent, HRH The Princess Royal, HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught
Absences within Council: The Queen accompanied the King on his trip.
Notes: Since the Queen accompanied the King, she was technically not on the Council. However, she was listed among those in the Council. This created a problem, and was solved by the Regency Act 1943, which modified the Regency Act 1937, and said that if someone is absent and does not act as Counsellor, they will not be listed among the Counsellors. This was the first rule of the Council of State under the provisions of the Regency Act 1937.
Monarch: George VI
Absence: Trip to North Africa
Counsellors: HM The Queen, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal, HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught, HH Princess Maud, Countess of Southesk
Notes: HRH The Princess Elizabeth, the heiress-presumptive, was soon to turn 18. She would have been allowed to reign in her own right or act as a regent to her father on her 18th birthday; however, she could not act in the Council of State until she was 21. This was also fixed by the Regency Act 1943. This was Lady Southesk's only time she ruled in the Council of State.
Monarch: George VI
Absence: Trip to Italy
Counsellors: HM The Queen, HRH The Princess Elizabeth, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal, HRH Princess Arthur of Connaught
Notes: Though at this time, Viscount Lascelles should have been a Counsellor of State, he was a prisoner of war. The regular solution would be for him to simply be not included among the Counsellors. Nevertheless, Princess Arthur was made a replacement. This was Elizabeth II's first time helping to rule the country.
Monarch: George VI
Absence: Tour of Africa
Counsellors: HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal, Viscount Lascelles

Counsellors: HM The Queen, HRH The Princess Elizabeth, Duchess of Edinburgh, HRH The Princess Margaret, HRH The Duke of Gloucester, HRH The Princess Royal
Notes: The King had planned to take a cruise with the Queen and Princess Margaret while Princess Elizabeth was on tour; however, this would have only left the Duke of Gloucester and the Princess Royal as Counsellors of State. There were plans to change the law so as to allow someone further down the succession to act as Counsellor of State, but the King died before the issue came up and the Regency Act 1953 did not make this rule.

Notes: Princess Margaret was scheduled to go on a trip to Paris; however, when it was noticed that her trip would leave only the Queen Mother to rule the United Kingdom, and at least 2 of the Counsellors are needed to carry out royal duties, her trip was cancelled.
