Names such as 'Your Majesty' to call a royal person?

Question

What other names could you address a King or Queen as, besides 'Your Majesty' 'Your Grace' or 'Your Highness'?

Answer 1

A king can be addressed as 'Sire' because he is the King. A king or queen is addressed as 'Your Majesty.' The only higher form of address for a king or queen is 'Your Imperial and Royal Majesty' if they are also Emperor or Empress. The Queen can be called 'Ma'am' after 'Your Majesty' while a king can be called 'Sir.' It would be disrespectful to try to get creative by using anything else.

Answer 2

Each monarchy has its rules on what you call them, and there aren't alternatives. For example, in the British monarchy, the king or queen is Your Majesty, and that's that. Your Grace is for dukes and duchesses, and Your Royal Highness is for princes and princesses.



Protocol when talking to Her Majesty the Queen is to call her Your Majesty first time in the conversation, and Ma'am after that. If the British monarch were a king, obviously he would be Sir later in the conversation. If you're talking to a prince or princess, I'm sure you can work out from that what you're expected to do talking to them. Melody is just a few centuries out of date with "Sire"!

Answer 3

Your Majesty, Sire, Ma'am(Queen).

Your Grace is used to address non royal Dukes

Answer 4

Your Majesty is only used for a King or Queen, HRH is used for a royal Duke or Prince, Your Grace is used for a non royal Duke.

Answer 5

The only honorifics for a King are "Your Majesty," followed by "Sir." When speaking about the King, he can be referred to as "His Majesty," the King, or by his regnal name, i.e. George VI. For a Queen, "Your Majesty," is followed by "Ma'am." She is referred to, in spoken and written word, as "Her Majesty." Only a Queen Regnant has an ordinal number after her name, as Queen Elizabeth II does. A queen consort, the spouse of the reigning king is referred to by name without a number and the designation of consort is used.



A Prince is "Your Royal Highness," followed by "Sir."

A Princess is "Your Royal Highness," followed by "Ma'am."

"His Royal Highness," "Her Royal Highness," and given names used with the titles if they are born or bestowed royals are used--"Prince Philip," "Princess Anne." For a woman who assumes royal status only through marriage, the title and her husband's given name is used-- "Princess Michael of Kent."



In the UK, "Your Grace" is used for dukes and duchesses, not for royals.
