Some more recent research has other findings, but according to early twentieth century writers in 1932, an interregnum queen, is a Great Royal Wife of a previous pharaoh who rules as a regent in the place of her heir-son, who has not yet reached the age to solely assume the role of pharaoh of Egypt. Officially the young heir-son is assumed to be king, de iure, making, in theory, his mother a co-regent.

In practice, the interregnum queen rules in the place of the young male heir as sole ruler, until the heir-son reaches an age when he could assume the duties of pharaoh alone. The term "Interregnum Queen" may have been the equivalent of the term "King's Mother".
