CHAPTER VI

THE COLLOQUIAL APPLICATION OF t.i.tLES

The colloquial application of t.i.tles differs materially from the application of t.i.tles when not used colloquially, and many persons are in doubt as to whether they should or should not make use colloquially of t.i.tles in full.

His Majesty the King should be addressed as ”Sir” by all those who come in social contact with him; and by all others as ”Your Majesty.”

Her Majesty Queen Mary should be addressed as ”Ma'm” by all those who come in social contact with her; and by all others as ”Your Majesty.”

Her Majesty Queen Alexandra should be addressed as ”Ma'm” by all those who come in social contact with her; and by all others as ”Your Majesty.”

The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Connaught, and all princes of the blood royal, should be addressed by the upper cla.s.ses as ”Sir.”

The princesses of the blood royal, should be addressed as ”Ma'm” by the upper cla.s.ses. The wives of the princes of the blood royal should also be addressed as ”Ma'm” by the upper cla.s.ses.
