A new poll has suggested that an overwhelming majority of people in Wales want the Crown Estate to be devolved to Cymru.
A YesCymru poll carried out by YouGov found that 58% of people supported devolving the Crown Estate to Wales, compared to 19% who opposed it (23% said they didn't know). The Crown Estate is a collection of marine and land assets and holdings belonging to the reigning monarch.
It includes the seabed out to 12 nautical miles, around 65% of the Welsh foreshore and riverbed, and a number of ports and marinas. However, it’s not the private property of the monarch. It cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the sovereign. You can get more Welsh news and other story updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletters here.
