So as with all things, I’m watching the episode of Bluey where they dress up as the Queen. It got me wandering.
What happens if you refuse to use the right title when talking to the King, Queen and other prominent Royals?
In my head you’re arrested, imprisoned in the ToL, given a faux-trial and then find your head quickly removed from your body. I’m wrong right?
Not UK, but I remember a cringy clip where a journalist attempted to interview the prince of Denmark (not the current king, his younger brother), and the prince keeps interrupting the journalist by saying “let’s try that again” because the journalist used “you” in singular form.
Ugh, the “let’s try that again” move is so demeaning and rude. Royal families have no place in this world anymore.
The journalist used “ye”?
No, he said “you” when he should have used “ye” in the honorific meaning.
It was in Danish though.
In retrospect that should have been obvious from context
