Independent of government and the monarch, The Crown Estate's public function is to: invest in and manage certain property assets belonging to the monarch; and remit its revenue surplus each year to the Exchequer.

The Crown Estate observes the Nolan principles of public life, that is, it is committed to honesty, fairness, integrity, openness and transparency. Although it is not an instrument of government policy, it is a public body. As such, The Crown Estate follows the standards in Managing Public Money.

The Treasury is The Crown Estate's sponsor department. The Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury is its sponsoring minister who answers for its affairs in parliament when the need arises. The Crown Estate's usual working level contacts are the Treasury Officer of Accounts team.
