Recommend to the King to grant the title 'Royal' to the county of Norfolk.

Rejected 9 signatures

What the petition asks

The Royal Family home at Sandringham one of our sovereigns. The future King William and his family also have a Norfolk home. His mother Princess Diana was raised at Park House on the Sandringham estate
Norfolk deserves the title as it has served the Royal family from reign of Queen Victoria. We have the Royal Norfolk Show and our new king would no doubt seriously consider

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about royal place names are a matter for the Monarch, not the UK Government or Parliament.
