Who does the Governor of the Cayman Islands represent?

The Governor of the Cayman Islands represents the Queen, who is the constitutional monarch of the United Kingdom. In the context of the Cayman Islands, the Governor acts as the representative of the Crown and has various responsibilities, including overseeing the territory's external affairs, defense, security, and ensuring that the local government operates in accordance with the law and best interests of the islands. This role signifies a direct connection to the monarchy and the British government, emphasizing the Cayman Islands' status as a British Overseas Territory.

It is important to understand that the Governor's role does not pertain to local political figures or institutions, such as the Prime Minister of the UK, the Cayman Islands Parliament, or any presidential system, which do not apply to this territory given its unique political structure. The Governor’s primary allegiance remains with the monarchy, representing the interests and authority of the Queen in local governance.
