Letter To Queen Elizabeth II
On 23 June 2008 Hill wrote a letter to Queen Elizabeth II recognising her as Forvik's head of state, with the same powers as assigned to King James III of Scotland at the time of the pawning of Shetland in 1469, and explaining the constitutional basis for his doing so.
Hill further stated that, "As absolute owner of Forvik and as provided for in the Act of Annexation of 1669, I humbly offer my services to Your Majesty as Steward of this, probably the smallest of your territories outside the United Kingdom."
To date Hill has not reported a response from the Queen.
