The Privy Council for the Dominion of British West Florida is composed of experts in various fields, selected by the Governor-General to provide confidential advice on affairs of state. During the reigns of the Norman Monarchs the Crown was advised by a royal court, which consisted of Magnates, Ecclesiastics and High Officials. The body originally concerned itself with advising the Sovereign on legislation, administration, and justice.

The Privy Council for the Dominion of British West Florida continues that tradition. Some Councillors have been chosen for their knowledge of the Law, or of Medicine, or of Public Relations. Other members have been chosen from the foreign and diplomatic services to ensure that a diverse body is at hand to consider the issues of the Government. The Governor-General heads the Council when Her Majesty is not present.

Her Majesty, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the Dominion of British West Florida, and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, has not yet granted our Petition, nor authorized this web site.
