To rh200; as I understand it because they, along with Bermuda, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar and several others are British Overseas territories, ie they are not part of the UK but acknowledge HM as the head of state. They have their own government, currency, flag etc but save a bundle by borrowing our Head of State and, I think, stuff like the FO.
