Rejected petition Make Norfolk a Royal County

With the Queen and two future Kings residing in Norfolk, it should receive Royal County Status. Past Sovereigns have also passed away in the County and Diana Princess of Wales also grew up in Norfolk

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The title ‘Royal’ is a privilege granted by the Queen. This action could not, therefore, be taken directly by the Government or Parliament.

You could start a petition calling on the Government to recommend to Her Majesty that she grant the title "Royal" to the county of Norfolk.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
