When his older brother the Elector Friedrich Christian died on December 17, 1763 (after a reign of only 74 days), Xavier took over the regency of the electorate together with his sister-in-law, the Dowager Electress Maria Antonia of Bavaria on behalf of his young nephew, the new Elector Friedrich August III. In October 1765, acting in the name of his nephew, Xavier formally renounced the Polish crown in favor of Stanislaus Poniatowski as required by the April 11, 1764 Treaty between Prussia and Russia. Xavier's regency ended in 1768 on Friedrich August's 18th birthday when the latter was formally proclaimed an adult.
