Queen's Commissioner
The King's Commissioner (Commissaris van de Koning) is the head of a province in the Netherlands, who is chairman of both the Provinciale Staten (PS; the directly elected provincial parliament) and the Gedeputeerde Staten (GS; the executive branch), but only has a right to vote in the latter. Since the reigning monarch is a queen, and has been since 1890, the current term is Queen's Commissioner (Commissaris van de Koningin).
