A former World War Two fort in the North Sea, which was settled 40 years ago and declared a state with its own self proclaimed royal family, is up for sale. The Times said yesterday.
The tiny Principality of Sealand, which began life as Roughs Tower in 1941, is a 550-square metre steel platform perched on two concrete towers 11km off the coast of Harwich, eastern England.
It is accessible only by helicopter and boat but according to its owners, who want offers of eight digits or over, boasts uninterrupted sea views, guarantees complete privacy and is a tax haven.
“We have owned the island for 40 years and my father is 85,” Prince Michael of Sealand was quoted as saying.
“Perhaps it is time for some rejuvenation.” – AFP
