Answer

A regnant is a reigning monarch, or the ruler of a country. The term is derived from the Latin word regnare, which means to rule. Regnants are often referred to as kings or queens, but they can also be princes or princesses. In some cases, a regnant may be a regent, who rules on behalf of a minor or incapacitated monarch.
