Talk:Representative of the Crown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Representative of the Crown refers to the office. The office is held by the person. A person can be the representative of the Crown, but the representative of the Crown as a term refers to an office, just as someone can be president but President is an office. This article is about the office. If it was about the person, it would be in an article on a person. STÓD/ÉÍRE 18:05 Apr 10, 2003 (UTC)
