Richard Mark Royal

Richard Mark Royal is a British professional swimmer who swam from Sealand to Felixstowe, Suffolk.[1][2] He swam 7.5 miles in just under 3.5 hours.[1][2] He spent two years planning his swim and despite multiple other people seeking to do a similar swim, he was the only one to be accepted by Sealand to do the swim.[1][2] After the swim he was created a knight of Sealand and given the title Sir.[1][2]
