[edit] Unity of the Crown

<<as until the passage of the Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 British constitutional law held that there was a single individisble monarchy with the dominions treated as subsets of the United Kingdom. After 1927, and particularly after the Statute of Westminster, 1931 the crowns of the various dominions were conidered as separate entities though with a shared throne.>>

The idea that there is one Crown still applies. The title used by the monarch may be styled differently in different Commonwealth Realms, it still is one Crown, as testified by the common elements the titles in all Commonwealth Realms have: "King / Queen of ....... and all his / her other Realms and territories". Implying that the Queen is Queen of all her Realms equally, not seperately as her title includes all.I've made some adjustments stressing that.Gerard von Hebel 20:07, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
