Q.597

Andorra is a tiny European country that lies between France and Spain. It is a Principality, i.e. it is ruled by a prince. Make that "princes" because, unusually, it is ruled by two co-princes, which stems from a political arrangement that goes back to about eight hundred years.

One of the current co-princes is Joan Enric Vives SicĂ­lia, the Bishop of Urgell, a Catholic diocese that covers Andorra and some parts of Spain. Andorra recently acquired a new co-prince. Who is this?
