There are a lot of exciting things about the British Empire. One is with respect to the ownership of geese.

All the swans that swim in the Thames are from the realm.After Queen Elisabeth II left, the new King of England, King Charles, inherited all the swans of the Thames.The United Kingdom has a rule that any swans in open water that do not have markings on their beaks belong to the King or Queen of England.

"The king has the right to claim any swan swimming in open waters, unmarked, if he so chooses," said David Barber, a goose-hunting officer.

Not all geese are king-owned.But if he wants to do it, he can do it under the royal prerogatives," Barber said.The rules of goose ownership have been in force since the 12th century in England because geese are considered royal poultry.At that time, the goose was one of the types of poultry that was used as a food of choice in England."The goose was then a very important food source and was used for banquets and feasts, really for the rich," said Barber.Over time, various people possessed geese.The Crown has given them the right to take ownership. And they had young swans and they'd be fattening them up for Christmas. Of course, now the geese are not eaten, and it's just a conservation and education exercise," said Barber.Over time, different individuals have geese.The Crown gives them the right of ownership. And they have young swans and they're going to fatten them up for Christmas night. Of course, geese are no longer consumed today, and this is a great exercise in conservation and education," said Barber.

During the 30 years he served as marker of the royal swan, Barber met the queen several times at public and informal events.The barber, wearing a red coat and goose down on his hat, was personally decorated with the Royal Victoria Order by the Queen in 2014.Her [the Queen] is a very, very nice person.You know her very well. And the queen is quite interested in all kinds of wild animals, including geese," he said.

He hoped that King Charles could retain his mother's habit.

He [King Charles] is very interested in conservation and stuff like that, which is very impressive for us as well.I hope he will take an interest in the goose population. This will help us in our work."
