To be honest, some cabinet ministers didn't even know the name "Cayman Islands." After all, the British Empire had once held so many colonies—over fifty countries and more than 30 million square kilometers of land—that it was hard to remember the names of all the small islands.
But now that someone was interested in buying, the value of the island suddenly became apparent.
They could let it sit and rot, but if someone wanted to buy, they would have to pay a high price.
None of the cabinet members opposed the outcome of the discussions between the Prime Minister and the Crown Princess. If Hardy took British citizenship, was granted a title, made governor, and bought the island, all of it would be perfectly legal.
Of course, it depended on whether Hardy was willing to take British citizenship.
After all, he was a wealthy American.
They also had to consider the political implications.
