The Principality of Sealand Grants Royal Nobiliary Titles to Spaniards
editarThe Principality of Sealand, a micronation located on a maritime shelf in the North Sea, has granted royal titles of nobility to several Spanish citizens. This small state, founded in 1967 by Paddy Roy Bates, has been known for its unique history and its motto “E Mare Libertas” (From the sea, freedom).
The Principality of Sealand has been ruled by the Bates family since its inception. The current prince, Michael I, has continued the tradition of awarding titles of nobility to individuals who have demonstrated special merit.
The first Spaniard to receive a noble title from Sealand was Ricardo Sarabia, who obtained the title of Lord thanks to a donation of close to 23,000 euros. Ricardo, a 61-year-old man who had been unemployed for four years, decided to buy the title to improve his job opportunities.
Another notable Galician who has been recognized by Sealand is Andrés Blanco Ferro, who became Sealand's first Galician Lord. Andrés, an 18-year-old entrepreneur, has won the affection of prominent international entrepreneurs thanks to his innovative platform Mytelai.com, which organizes artificial intelligence lists by functions and capabilities. Started his entrepreneurial journey at the age of 17 and has demonstrated uncommon vision and determination. His platform has been recognized in major media outlets.
The Principality of Sealand continues to award titles of nobility to individuals who have demonstrated special merit, either through donations or through their social and entrepreneurial contributions.
