In 1765, Charlotte Murray, Duchess of Atholl, 8th Baroness Strange, sold the suzerainty of the Isle of Mann to the British government. By the passage of the Isle of Man Purchase Act 1765 the title of Lord of Mann was re-vested into the British Crown. It has therefore since been used on the Isle of Man to refer to the reigning Monarch of the United Kingdom.
Traditionally, the style is "Lord" even if the monarch is female; the exception was Queen Victoria, who was styled Lady of Mann.
Queen Elizabeth II was the monarch of the Isle of Mann from 6 February 1952 until her death on 8 September 2022. |
