Who Does Guernsey Belong To?

Guernsey is a British Crown Dependency.

• Not part of the United Kingdom — but the UK is responsible for its defense and international representation.
• Not part of the EU — never was; had a special relationship pre-Brexit.
• Self-governing: Its own parliament (States of Deliberation), laws, courts, tax system, currency (Guernsey pound, pegged 1:1 to GBP).
• Head of State: The British Monarch (King Charles III), represented by a Lieutenant Governor.

Similar status: Jersey, Isle of Man. Together: the Channel Islands (Guernsey, Jersey) + Isle of Man = Crown Dependencies.
