That's where the office is? What is the The Crown's (which is a Corporation) mailing address?
"The Crown" is the City of London which is run by the Bank of England not the Queen. It has its own courts, its own laws, it's own Mayor its own flag and its own police force, separate from the metropolitan.
"The Crown" is the City of London which is run by the Bank of England not the Queen. It has its own courts, its own laws, it's own Mayor its own flag and its own police force, separate from the metropolitan.
The City of London and the Crown are two separate things.
One is the world's leading financial centre and the other is the monarchy, headed by Elizabeth II, owner of Canada.
In Canada, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and twelve other countries the Crown is the formal head of the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. All acts of state are done in the name of the Crown.
They are? The Crown or the Corporation known as The Crown? Can you prove anything with "official" documentation that the Queen owns everything?

I don't need garden gnomes talking to me. I was hallucinating worse things last night after drinking all that Newkie Brown whilst watching that creepy movie about the 1959 Dyetlov Pass Incident.
How much proof do you need? It's there in black and white in the articles that I posted.
Ok...
Pat Franklin says most British Garden gnomes are possessed, - esp. the ones imported From Israel. If they start whispering to you, Alf, throw them out in the street and run over them with your lorry...
Ayyyuh...
It gives the mailing address? In Canada my Canadian Brothers and Sisters own all the Crown Assets. When did the Queen buy me out?
""""I want full apologies from nuggler and Captain Morgan, who have just shown themselves up in front of lots of people.
Queen Elizabeth II is the largest landowner on earth. She also owns whales."""
She has enough blubber on her to BE a whale. And that's Nuggler with a capital N, Dumbo.
But, sure, WTF.................I'm sorry................................:roll:
Because if we ever meet yer mother we want to be prepared.
We've stood for centuries. Just not enough of us.
Reading some Scottish papers, most really don't want independence. Like Quebec. It would be nice, but look at all the work involved. Nah.
Wonder if they had commentators back then. Like on TV.............:lol:...........And the US of , what ?, oh yah, A, leads by 6 after the last volley.
Poor show Brits. Take that general out and hang him.
That's the only way they'll get it

The "Scottish" kilt, far from being an ancient Scottish innovation, was actually a fairly recent English innovation.
Its inventor was an 18th Century English Quaker and mill owner from Lancashire named Thomas Rawlinson.
Mr Rawlinson decided to shorten belted plaids after workmen in the Highlands, where he was staying, said they were uncomfortable.
That's why that awful film Braveheart, in which all the Scots are wearing kilts, is complete and utter tosh (and that's not the only reason why it's historically tosh).
The “myth” of the ancient Highland dress was perpetuated by Jock historians to provide a symbol by which Scots could be universally identified, as well as to support the country’s textile industry.
The haggis is also English.
The first known written recipe for a dish of the name (as 'hagese'), made with offal and herbs, is in the verse cookbook Liber Cure Cocorum dating from around 1430 in Lancashire, North West England
For hagese'.
Þe hert of schepe, þe nere þou take,
Þo bowel noght þou shalle forsake,
On þe turbilen made, and boyled wele,
Hacke alle togeder with gode persole,
Þo bowel noght þou shalle forsake,
On þe turbilen made, and boyled wele,
Hacke alle togeder with gode persole,
In fact almost all of Scotland’s literary, cultural and political traditions, which are claimed by the Scots to date back to Roman times, were largely invented in the 18th century.
The Scots even fabricated their own literary tradition, culminating in the publication of The Works of Ossian.
These have been claimed to have been translated from ancient sources in Gaelic about the lives of Celtic heroes.
But historians have long suspected them of being a figment of the imagination of James Macpherson, the 18th-century Scottish poet who claimed to have translated them.
And when the Scots were looking for a writer and poet to rival Shakespeare following the Act of Union with England in 1707, they found nothing.
This led to ancient writings being forged and passed off as Scottish literature.
Only one in four Scots wants to be independent, says poll in latest blow to Salmond's referendum campaign
Polls suggest a crushing defeat for Scotland's nationalist First Minister Alex Salmond's bid to break up the UK in next year's referendum
Only one in four Scots backs independence, a poll shows, suggesting a crushing defeat for Alex Salmond in next year’s referendum.
The majority, 65 per cent, said they do not think Scotland should break from the UK.
Of 10,000 surveyed in Scotland, 26 per cent thought the country should be independent.
And 40 per cent had ‘very little idea’ which areas of government are based in Holyrood and not in Westminster. Only 14 per cent said they had a ‘very good idea’.
Voters for all parties agreed independence was the Scottish government’s top priority ahead of the referendum on September 18 next year.
But many were unhappy with that stance, with 61 per cent saying the economy, jobs or the NHS were more important.
Only 3 per cent said independence should be the main priority, and even among Scottish National Party voters only 7 per cent said it topped their list of concerns.
Support for the SNP remained strong, however, with 40 per cent saying they would vote for the party if an election was held now, ahead of Labour on 35 per cent and the Tories at 15 per cent.
Still, many Scots have serious doubts about independence, the research by Tory peer and poll expert Lord Ashcroft found.
Of those surveyed, 59 per cent thought taxes would rise and 55 per cent said borrowing and debt would rise if the Scottish parliament controlled all tax and spending. Only 29 per cent said public services would improve.
This flies in the face of first minister Alex Salmond’s claim that the country would be better off alone, as it could benefit from North Sea oil and gas revenues.
Ossian was huge on the Continent. McPherson was a 'canny Scott' who saw a market & went for it.
In 1812 we took a little Trip
Running steers across the border for the British Army Script
Hustled gold & silks back across the Smugglers Notch
Paid the customs agent for his 'sleeping on the watch'!
Well , we hauled more beef but the British kept on buying
Until pretty soon our cabins looking like Plantation farms
Gathering in the loot well it sure beats dying

The bid by Scottish nationalists to make Scotland an independent nation has taken a blow with just 11 months to the referendum.
The pro-independence Scottish National Party (SNP), which is the largest party in the devolved Scottish Parliament and therefore the party in power in Scotland (the Scottish parliament has just a limited range of powers), suffered a humiliating defeat in the Dunfermline by-election last night.
Labour's Cara Hilton won the contest by 2,873 votes fierce battle that saw an unexpectedly high turnout of 42.75 per cent.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond, the leader of the SNP, was left personally humiliated after he made a last-minute appearance on doorsteps yesterday evening in a bid to pick up votes.
But Labour won 42.5 per cent of the vote, with the Scottish National Party on 30.6 per cent - a swing to Labour of 6.9 per cent.
Winning candidate Cara Hilton was even heckled and booed by SNP activists as she made her victory speech. She claimed the result sends a clear message to Mr Salmond ahead of next year’s referendum on Scottish independence.
The result leaves the SNP with just a wafer-thin majority in the Scottish Parliament.
The result also casts further doubt on Mr Salmond’s chances of winning next year’s independence referendum, with polls suggesting fewer than 30 per cent of Scots want to leave the United Kingdom.
The LibDems came third with 11.8 per cent, followed by the Tories on 8.3 per cent, UKIP on 3.8 per cent and the Greens on 2.5 per cent.
The by-election in Dunfermline was called after independent MSP Bill Walker was convicted of domestic abuse against three ex-wives and a stepdaughter. Walker had won the seat for the SNP in 2011 but was expelled from the party after the allegations against him surfaced.

Defeat: SNP leader and Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond has seen his majority in the Scottish Parliament cut to just two, dealing a blow to his hopes of Scottish independence. Polls are also suggesting fewer than 30 per cent of Scots want to leave the United Kingdom.
Scotland's First Minister Alex Salmond has suffered a crushing by-election defeat that leaves the SNP with a wafer-thin majority in the Scottish Parliament.
Labour won the contest in Dunfermline, Fife, by 2,873 votes after a fierce battle that saw an unexpectedly high turnout of 42.75 per cent.
Mr Salmond was left personally humiliated after he made a last-minute appearance on doorsteps yesterday evening in a bid to pick up votes.
But Labour won 42.5 per cent of the vote, with the Scottish National Party on 30.6 per cent - a swing to Labour of 6.9 per cent.
Winning candidate Cara Hilton was heckled and booed by SNP activists as she made her victory speech. She claimed the result sends a clear message to Mr Salmond ahead of next year’s referendum on Scottish independence.
The LibDems came third with 11.8 per cent, followed by the Tories on 8.3 per cent, UKIP on 3.8 per cent and the Greens on 2.5 per cent.
Dunfermline was a former LibDem stronghold, but fell to Mr Salmond’s SNP in his 2011 Scottish Parliament election landslide.
Labour’s victory is a significant boost for the party’s Scottish leader, Johann Lamont, and throws the next Holyrood elections in 2016 wide open.
It is the first time a seat has changed hands in a Scottish Parliament by-election for 13 years.
It comes just months after the SNP’s majority in a by-election in Aberdeen Donside was slashed and only weeks after Labour trounced their main opponents north of the Border in a council by-election in Glasgow’s Govan ward.
The result also casts further doubt on Mr Salmond’s chances of winning next year’s independence referendum, with polls suggesting fewer than 30 per cent of Scots want to leave the United Kingdom.
Winner: Labour's Cara Hilton, pictured with Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls, secured a majority of 2,873 in the Dunfermline by-election
The by-election was held following the resignation of disgraced wife-beater Bill Walker, who had been kicked out of the SNP. Earlier this year he was found guilty of 23 counts of domestic abuse against three former wives and a stepdaughter.
Labour’s victory leaves Mr Salmond with a slender parliamentary majority of just two. He now has 65 MSPs - down from 69 in 2011 - with the combined opposition forces on 63.
Miss Hilton said: 'The people of Dunfermline have rejected Scotland being put on pause for another year.
'The government of Scotland has been suspended so that a referendum campaign can be won.
'We need a Scottish Government that will address the needs of Scots, not one that will simply make promises about what will happen after [independence].
'Dunfermline has sent a message to Alex Salmond: it's time for you to focus on the real priorities of Scots, not your constitutional obsession.
'Use the powers you have now to make a difference, not just argue for more in the future.'
'Use the powers you have now to make a difference, not just argue for more in the future.'
Count: The contest in Dunfermline was dominated by a local row over Labour-run Fife Council's plan to close primary schools
Surprise: Labour's victory throws the next Holyrood elections in 2016 wide open
