Yes; the Bermuda Islands as they are officially known (there are actually 138 islands forming a part of it) are a British overseas territory in which the crown authority of the Queen is exercised by a governor appointed by the British parliament. Bermuda is self-governing, and has had limited self-government in the Parliament of Bermuda since 1620. Its most recent constitution is from 1967.

A British overseas territory (there are 14) legally falls under the sovereignty of the United Kingdom (in that the Queen reigns as monarch over these territories), but these territories do not form a part of the United Kingdom itself. Before 2002, these territories were known as British dependent territories. Their status is similar to the status of Puerto Rico or the United States Virgin Islands with respect to the United States

Yes. Hundreds of years ago, British men were shipwrecked on the island of Bermuda and they claimed Bermuda as a British territory. If you look at the Bermuda flag, you will see the England flag at the top left corner of it. It is like the Australian flag because it also has the English flag at the top left corner.
