Governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands

The governor of the Turks and Caicos Islands is the representative of the British monarch in the United Kingdom's British Overseas Territory of Turks and Caicos Islands.

The role of the governor is to act as the vice-regal representative of the head of state, His Majesty King Charles III.

In August 2009, the United Kingdom suspended the islands' self-government after allegations of ministerial corruption.

The prerogative of the ministerial government and the House of Assembly were vested in the Governor until self-government was restored in 2012.
