1811 (Maternal Guardianship and Royal Education in the Christophe Kingdom): The care and education of a minor King were explicitly confided to the Queen Mother, or in her absence, to a prince appointed by the late King. The law barred the Protector and his descendants from being eligible for the personal charge of the minor King to ensure a separation between executive power and the royal person. This provision aligned with Queen Maria-Louisa’s earlier pledge to superintend the education of her children with “peculiar care.” The Council of State emphasized that the destiny of the nation would one day depend on the upbringing of the royal heirs. These regulations underscored the monarchy’s focus on the long-term stability and moral development of the ruling dynasty.
