Answer The island of Jersey is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Island. Answer

Jersey is actually one of a group of small islands called the Channel Islands which are situated in the English Channel, very near to Normandy, France. As an island, Jersey not strictly 'in' any particular country, other than to say that Jersey is one of the islands which are known collectively as 'The Channel Islands.'

Although they are physically nearer to France than England, the Channel Islands (including Jersey) are politically/constitutionally designated as a 'Crown Dependency' of the United Kingdom. Although the Channel Islands are 'protected' by the United Kingdom they are neither part of the UK nor of the European Union (EU). The Channel Islands are geographically considered to part of The British Isles, which term is broadly used to refer to that group of islands off the north-west coast of Europe, comprised mainly of the island of Great Britain and the island of Ireland, together with smaller islands and island groups, such as The Isle of Man, The Isles of Scilly and The Channel Islands.
