Well, I know that they should know, but ...

As a Guernseyman, I can say that the Royal Toast in Guernsey is NOT 'The
Duke of Normandy, our Queen', but 'The Queen, our Duke'. And I seriously
doubt the statement that 'since that time [1106], the English Sovereign has
always held the title Duke of Normandy'. As for the statement that 'In the
Channel Islands The Queen is known as The Duke of Normandy', that's simply
wrong. She is known as the Queen.

Wikipedia seems to be a better bet, when it says 'the islands were formerly
part of the Duchy of Normandy, the rest of which was renounced in 1259'.

I reported a spelling mistake a few years ago and it was corrected the
same day. Obviously changes to factual information would take longer.

Up here in NW England the toast is:
The Queen. The Duke of Lancaster.
And I seriously doubt the
statement that 'since that time [1106], the English
Sovereign has always held the title Duke of Normandy'.

Well the Guernsey family I married into certainly only call
her 'the Queen'

rest of which was renounced in 1259'.
