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.

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.
