The Crown Estate Commissioners are a group responsible for managing the Crown Estate, a large portfolio of land and assets in the United Kingdom. Established in 1961, their role is to ensure the estate is managed efficiently and profitably, generating revenue for the UK government. The Crown Estate includes various properties, such as urban real estate, agricultural land, and offshore wind farms. The income generated supports public services and contributes to the national budget. The Commissioners operate independently but report to the Monarch and the Treasury.
