Why did the Channel Islands become part of British empire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

They have never been part of England or Great Britain or the United Kingdom.

But they share the same monarch and are now Crown Dependencies.

The reason the Channel Islands never became part of the United Kingdom is because they are the remnants of what was once the Duchy of Normandy. with the loss of the rest of the Duchy by various Kings, it means that these Islands are held by the Crown as separate possessions.

One other little nugget of information about the Channel Islands concerns Sark, which was uninhabited until 1560's when it was granted a seigneurship by Elizabeth I , which still forms the basis of Sark's constitution today.
