The government and capital sections of the infobox have been commented out, however Alderney and Sark both send representatives to the States of Guernsey, to participate in legislation on laws which cover the entire Bailiwick (i.e. "transferred services", include policing, customs and excise, airport operations, health, education, social services, childcare and adoption). So there is still a government of the entire Bailiwick, it just happens to be the same as that for Guernsey. This is similar to the Parliament of the UK, in respect to the United Kingdom and England.

The population data used in the infobox does not include Alderney or Sark according to the source, which are both part of the Bailiwick, and have a combined population of around 2500. I was unable to find a recent source which combined all three (Guernsey, Alderny, Sark) into one number. apairofpears ( talk) 04:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
Guernsey isn't part of the United Kingdom, but is responsible for Guernsey. I think that this should be made more clear in crown dependency articles. MicroSupporter ( talk) 20:50, 17 October 2022 (UTC)
"Recognition" says the bailiwick has neither flag nor arms, yet there are images of both in the sidebar. Are they fake? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 伟思礼 ( talk • contribs) 17:30, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
As explained in /info/en/?search=Duke_of_Normandy the title „Duke of Normandy“ is not officially used. Hence, it shouldn’t be used in this article and be corrected Adlerauge24 ( talk) 20:25, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
The King is the Head of State (as the latter day successor to the Duke of Normandy) and the Lieutenant-Governor is His Majesty's personal representative.

Although there was supposed to be no publicity, peasants in the villages knew they were coming. Some doffed their caps and shouted ‘Vive la Duchesse!’ (‘Well I am Duke of Normandy,’ said the Queen).52
.Lord Carnarvon: interview.
They have been part of the Duchy of Normandy since the 10th century and Queen Elizabeth II is often referred to by her traditional and conventional title of Duke of Normandy. However, pursuant to the Treaty of Paris (1259) she is not the Duke in a constitutional capacity and instead governs in her right as Queen (the ”Crown in right of Jersey”,16 and the ”Crown in right of the république of the Bailiwick of Guernsey”17). This notwithstanding, it is a matter of local pride for monarchists to treat the situation otherwise: the Loyal Toast at formal dinners is to 'The Queen, our Duke', rather than ’Her Majesty, the Queen’ as in the UK.18
Regarding the matter of the flag, is there a source that states the Bailiwick doesn't have a flag? Because other sources like Britannica and Flaginstitute state that the flag of the island is used as flag of the dependency as a whole. Another point is that at the Commonwealth Games athletes from Guernsey, Sark and Alderney all participate under the flag of Guernsey. Sacesss ( talk) 08:29, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
