THE SEIGNEURIAL TITLES OF THE NORMAN ISLANDS OF THE CHANNEL. GUERNSEY TITLES.

Constitutional position of the Channel Islands
According to with Sir John Loveridge, Bailiff of Guernsey from 1973 to 1982, “the Channel Islands, of which the Bailiwick of Guernsey forms part, occupy an unusual position in Her Majesty’s possessions for they are not part of the United Kingdom nor are they sovereign states or colonies... They are part of Her Majesty’s possessions with insular legislatures, judiciaries and executives, but Her Majesty’s Government of the United Kingdom is responsible for their defence and international relations”.
