This is pure fantasy.
The English monarch was weak the past, and has been weakened further such that today they only remain as a figurehead, and everything they do is dictated to them by the democracies that they are supposedly “ruling”. Those democracies keep the monarch at their whim. (I believe Barbados just removed them, and Australia has been getting closer to doing so.)
“The crown” in those countries that do retain the monarch refers to all of the powers once exercised by a single person, but now exercised by the democratic governments of those places. That there also is physical object called “the crown” that rarely sits on the head of the vestigial monarch is not significant.
- gizajob 3y agoYou’re mistaken. “The Crown” is the legal name of what is a private entity that looks and acts as if it’s a public one. It’s one of the deepest rabbit holes on Earth, and not even a conspiratorial one, just the sort of organisation that takes great pains to hide and occlude what it is. See my post elsewhere on this page.

"Crown Land" is land that is technically owned by the sitting monarch, but in all practicalities is owned by the Canadian government, as monarch is legally unable to do anything with the land. All adminstration, sale, land transfers, renting out, and revenue from the land is controlled by the government, not The Crown. The monarch does not meaningfully own Crown Land in any sense, and this is enshrined within Canada's own legal definition of Crown Land.
