Status: offline 		“Queen Elizabeth II the largest landowner on Earth.” Queen Elizabeth II, head of state of the United Kingdom and of 31 other states and territories, is the legal owner of about 6,600 million acres of land, one sixth of the earth’s non ocean surface. She is the only person on earth who owns whole countries, and who owns countries that are not her own domestic territory. This land ownership is separate from her role as head of state and is different from other monarchies where no such claim is made – Norway, Belgium, Denmark etc. The value of her land holding. £17,600,000,000,000 (approx). This makes her the richest individual on earth. However, there is no way easily to value her real estate. There is no current market in the land of entire countries. At a rough estimate of $5,000 an acre, and based on the sale of Alaska to the USA by the Tsar, and of Louisiana to the USA by France, the Queen’s land holding is worth a notional $33,000,000,000,000 (Thirty three trillion dollars or about £17,600,000,000,000). Her holding is based on the laws of the countries she owns and her land title is valid in all the countries she owns. Her main holdings are Canada, the 2nd largest country on earth, with 2,467 million acres, Australia, the 7th largest country on earth with 1,900 million acres, the Papua New Guinea with114 million acres, New Zealand with 66 million acres and the UK with 60 million acres.http://www.whoownstheworld.com/about-the-book/largest-landowner/

Status: offline 		Growing up (maybe 9 thru 12 years old) I was sure I was destined to have a valet.  Now how in the heck was I going to accomplish that?  I was sure I was going to marry Princess Anne.  (The Queen's second child, now styled The Princess Royal.)

Only later did I figure out that I could "grow" my own valet.  Hence my current sig.line of

owns and interest are 2 different things but you will be happy to hear its leaning your way on this point.  It does not however settle the whos and wherefores which is what I seek when I research and again the treaty of paris does not spell out what your claim is.

If you wish to just believe it ot take something out of context to believe it, well even a broken clock is right 2wice in a day.

Sorry to break the news ... but by definition ... there is no "U.K." and there never will be.

And just like Whacko, any paedo celeb (incloding "popes") should need COSTLY measures to defend themselves from the truth on these islands.

Was that supposed to be a funny generalisation on bad teeth 'joke'?
Had it been shane mcgowan, it might had worked at a pinch.
But the queen?  Nah.

Mind you, I do wish Mick Jagger had got braces for his daughter - she reminds me of Garfield's on/off girlfriend when those Rimmel ads run - ENOUGH

but man, I bet she sure can whistle !

Jealous ?

If it weren't her owning it, it would be somebody else, so what's the problem ?

I believe the moon has some spare land if that is what you are after.
