Explanation

Please note: Only the Dutch-language version of the Constitution has legal effect. 

The law regulates who is the guardian of the minor King. That law states not only who holds parental authority or guardianship over the minor King, but also who supervises it. The First and Second Chambers meet and decide on that bill together in a Joint Session.
