Sir Wilfred Jacobs, 1967–1981 According to the constitution of the
Associated State of Antigua, the Governor of Antigua, who was Her Majesty's representative in Antigua, was to be chosen by Her Majesty, served during Her Majesty's pleasure, and appointed by Her Majesty. Before beginning to perform the duties of the office of governor, the person who has been appointed must take and sign the oaths of office and allegiance. The activities of the office of Governor shall be carried out by the person that Her Majesty may nominate during any time that the position is vacant, the holder of the office of Governor is not present in Antigua, or is otherwise unable to fulfill those functions. Any of the aforementioned individuals must take the oaths required by section 18 of this Constitution before taking on the responsibilities of the office of Governor. If the holder of the governorship has informed the person in question that he is about to assume or resume those duties, the person in question may not continue to carry out such duties. For the purposes of this section, the Governor shall not be deemed to be absent from Antigua or incapable of carrying out the duties of his office because he is (a) traveling from one area of Antigua to another; or (b) whenever a deputy has been appointed in accordance with Section 20 of this Constitution. In 1981 the associated state of Antigua became independent as Antigua and Barbuda. For a list of viceroys after independence, see
