*[[Dorgon|Prince Dorgon]] of the early [[Qing dynasty]] served as regent for his nephew, the [[Shunzhi Emperor]], from 1643 to 1650, because the latter was only six at the time of his ascension. Dorgon was instrumental in moving Manchu forces into Beijing in 1644, proclaiming the Qing dynasty to be the legitimate successor to the [[Ming dynasty]]. In Qing dynasty historical records, Dorgon was the first to be referred to as ''Shezhengwang'' (摄政王; "Prince regent").
*[[Rameses the Great]]
*[[Zaifeng, Prince Chun|Prince Chun]] of the late Qing dynasty served as regent from 1908 to 1911 for his son [[Puyi]], the Xuantong Emperor. Apart from Dorgon, Zaifeng was the only person in Chinese history who was specifically referred to as prince regent.

* [[John VI of Portugal|John, Prince of Brazil]] (1767–1826) served as regent of Portugal for his mother Queen [[Maria I of Portugal|Maria I]], who had become mentally unfit to rule, from 1799 to 1816.  His regency was associated with the [[transfer of the Portuguese court to Brazil]].
*[[Princess]] [[Erelu Kuti]] of [[Lagos]], a [[Yoruba people|Yoruba]] [[chieftain|chieftess]] of the eighteenth century who served as [[Queen mothers (Africa)|queen mother]] of a line of [[tribal king]]s. The successors to the [[noble title]] that now shares her name have all subsequently served as regent of Lagos following the death of a reigning [[Oba (ruler)|oba]]. Princesses are traditionally called upon to serve as regents in this fashion in most of the other kingdoms of [[Yorubaland]] as well. In [[Akure Kingdom|Akure]], for example, the eldest daughter of a recently deceased king ruled in his stead until a substantive successor to the royal title was chosen by the college of noble [[kingmaker]]s, a period that lasted for an unusually long six years due to a succession crisis in the state.
*[[Chieftain|Chief]] [[Tshekedi Khama]] of the [[Bamangwato]], a [[Tswana people|Tswana]] prince who served as regent during the reign of his famous nephew, Sir [[Seretse Khama]].

He was ultimately unsuccessful.
