'The unexpected comic masterpiece of the year' Daily Mail In 1967,
retired army major and self-made millionaire Paddy Roy Bates
inaugurated himself ruler of the Principality of Sealand on a World
War II Maunsell Sea Fort near Felixstowe - and began the peculiar
story of the world's most stubborn micronation. Having fought off
attacks from UK government officials and armed mercenaries for half
a century - and thwarted an attempted coup that saw the Prince
Regent taken hostage - the self-proclaimed independent nation still
stands. It has its own constitution, national flag and anthem,
currency, and passports - and offers the esteemed titles of 'Lord'
or 'Lady' to its loyal patrons. Incorporating original interviews
with surviving members of the principality's royal family, and many
rare, vintage photographs, Dylan Taylor-Lehman recounts the
outrageous attempt to build a sovereign kingdom by a family of
rogue, larger-than-life adventurers on an isolated platform in the
freezing waters of the North Sea.
