| Is this real or have I been duped! |

I recently spotted a rather unusual gift on the Internet. For around £30, you can "officially" become a Lord/Lady or Baron/Baroness of Sealand.
Sealand is apparently a small, ex-army barracks in the North Sea, about 7 miles from Felixstowe. I won't go into all the details, but I emailed the Sealand Government about this offer and it is something they sponsor. It all sounds bizarre, but I thought, "Hey, what an unusual gift".
I've sent off for them and now have the title of Lord Bradney of Sealand! (guffaws all around!). My question (once you all stop giggling) is can I actually use the title of Lord Bradney in the UK. I'm a bit of a Royalist and wouldn't want to break any laws or upset HM or her government, but is this legally OK or have I just been duped?
(I don't mind if I have as it's still a great novelty gift all the same) |
