The Prince of Sealand, Michael Bates, said that the British assault on the island had been successfully repelled, in a statement Sunday. The British Armed Forces are yet to comment on the matter.
The statement from the Office of the Prince of Sealand read: “Sealand Forces have successfully repelled the British attack on its sovereignty and land. British forces have left the island with high casualties.
British forces had reportedly been pushed back to north-eastern lower deck, and had reportedly suffered major casulties by Saturday, the Pentagon reported. The British landing fleet, consisting of some 10,000 men and at least four ships, initially advanced, however their advance was swiftly stopped by Thursday, alongside with the sinking of H.M Elizabeth.
