Passed on
April 12,
1927, the
Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act 1927 (
17 Geo 5, c. 4) was an Act of Parliament of the
United Kingdom that formed a significant landmark in the constitutional history of the UK and British Empire as a whole. The Act had two consequences. The first was to change the full name of the United Kingdom (UK) to the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the former
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in recognition of the fact that the southern and western part of Ireland was governed by the Irish Free State which had seceded from the UK in
1922.
A second function was to modify the British monarchy's title, proclaiming that George V was not king of the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions but rather of
Great Britain,
Ireland and
the British Dominions. The full title of the Act was
An Act to provide for the alteration of the Royal Style and Titles and of the Style of Parliament and for purposes incidental thereto. This change was likely a product of an agreement at the Imperial Conference of 1926 changing the relationship between Britain and the
dominions as outlined in the
Balfour Declaration of 1926. It was the Balfour Declaration in which it was agreed that the United Kingdom and the dominions were "equal in status, in no way subordinate one to another in any aspect of their domestic or external affairs, though united by common allegiance to the Crown, and freely associated as members of the Commonwealth of Nations".
Separating the role of the Crown in Great Britain and in Ireland ended the right of the government in London to advise the King on actions to take regarding Ireland. The King of Ireland would take advice only from ministers in Dublin. The new Governor-General of the Irish Free State in Dublin also became a conduit between the
King of Ireland and the
Executive Council of the Irish Free State (the government), and did not receive confidential instructions and documents from the London government.
Separating the roles of the Crown also meant that changes to the succession had to be agreed upon by all of the Commonwealth Realms, lest the personal union of the Crown be broken. Éamon de Valera combined Edward VIII of the United Kingdom's
abdication on 11 December
1936 with a drastic limitation of royal power in Ireland. The delay in passing the External Relations Act meant that Edward VIII was King of Ireland until 12 December 1936.
However, most constitutional historians concentrate their focus on either the Statute of Westminster, 1931 or the Balfour Declaration 1926 as being the crucial milestone in the evolution of the relationship between the Crown and what was becoming known as the British Commonwealth.

The
1927 Act did not change the title of the United Kingdom explicitly. Rather, it did this by changing the title of the British Parliament. Section 2 of the Act changed Parliament's title from the
Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland to the
Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. Historians generally retrospectively date the coming into being of the modern United Kingdom to December
1922, when the Irish Free State seceded, even though the formal change of title did not occur for another five years. Despite the change of name, the Act provided that there would be no change in the numbering of Parliaments. Thus the legislature then in session continued to be the Thirty-fourth Parliament, and its successors have been numbered accordingly.
History
The Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act was passed following the Imperial Conference of
1926 in which, under the shadow of the King-Byng Affair,
Canada led a push among the
dominions for a reinterpretation of the relationship between Britain and the dominions so that the latter would be equal to the former rather than subordinate. This required a change in the relationship between the Crown and its realms so that the dominions related to the crown independently and directly rather than as subjects of the
British government.
The government of the Irish Free State put the changes introduced by the Act into immediate effect, assuming the right to select its own
Governor-General, demanding a direct right of audience with the King, and beginning to accept the credentials of international ambassadors to the Irish state—something no other Dominion up until that time had done.
The Royal and Parliamentary Titles Act was followed by the Statute of Westminster 1931 which granted Dominon parliaments the power to enact or amend almost any legislation they chose, and removed the right, in most circumstance, for the British Parliament to legislate for the Dominions.
Most Dominions were slower than the Irish Free State to respond to the constitutional changes of 1927 and 1931 with moves to sever such ties with the United Kingdom, and many, when they did, were faced with determined, though ultimately futile, opposition from the United Kingdom's government of the day. Many Dominions waited until the accession of
Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom in
1952 to codify their new autonomy into domestic law.
An interesting consequence of the 1927 Act was that
Edward VIII of the United Kingdom's abdication in
1936 required separate legal acknowledgement in each Commonwealth nation. In the Irish Free State, that acknowledgment, in the form of the
External Relations Act, occurred a day later than elsewhere, leaving Edward technically as "King of Ireland" for a day, while George VI of the United Kingdom was king of all other Commonwealth realms.
In
1948 and 1953, further changes were made to the title of the monarch by British Acts of Parliament. However the law passed in 1953 was the first to apply only to the United Kingdom and its dependencies. In that year the practice was begun of using separate styles for each of the Commonwealth Realms in which the monarch is head of state, the style in each case determined by the native parliament.
In 1953 the Dominion governments agreed that the practice of separate titles should continue in the reign of the new
Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. Each country adopted their own titles, the British act of parliament clearly stated that it applied only to the United Kingdom and those overseas territories whose foreign relations were controlled by the UK government.
