The King's commissioner is the head of a province in the Netherlands. The officeholder chairs both the States Provincial and the Provincial Executive, but has a right to vote only in the latter. When the reigning monarch is a female, the office is known as Queen's commissioner. As there are twelve provinces in the Netherlands, there are twelve King's commissioners.
