Queen Elizabeth retains the right to ownership to all unmarked Mute swans in open water. But since the 15th Century, ownership has been shared with the Worshipful Company of Vintners and the Worshipful Company of Dyers

Can you still get the stocks if you kill a swan?

In the UK ,as many people will know, it is against the law to kill a swan. However, if you do decide to do away with one do it on the Orkney Islands. A Viking law states that swans that are in Orkney belong to anyone. But the second you walk onto any part of the UK that isn't Orkney, they belong to the Queen. Killing a swan is not recommended anywhere!!

What animal does the British monarchy own in Britain?

Many people believe that all swans belong to the British monarch, but in reality this applies only to unmarked Mute Swans on open water, a right of ownership practiced only on a short stretch of the River Thames between Abingdon and Windsor - however, it technically applies to all swans fitting this description with the exception of those found in the Orkneys which, by an old Viking law, belong to the residents of those islands. Marked Mute Swans belong to one of two London livery companies, the Vintners' Company or the Dyers' Company.All sturgeon and whales caught in English waters automatically become the property of the monarch under laws dating to the reign of Edward II (1307-1327). Neither is a common catch, either in English rivers or around England's coasts.
