Well, a king is not a “highness” he is a “majesty.” Harry or William are “Your Royal Highness” and Charles is “Your Majesty.”

British protocol ranges from stuffy to just polite. As an American, you could address them as someone in a position of authority that you respect and not raise an eyebrow. However, it never hurts to be polite to people and respect their customs.

Love or hate the concept of monarchy, he's a head of state. "Good morning/afternoon/evening, sir" is probably safe.

Protocol with his mother was "Your Majesty" on first meeting, then "Ma'am."

Planning to meet the man, or curiosity?

It's good to be the king, pull.




Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.

Interesting that The Donald and Charles III (not one hundred and eleven), are related. 15th cousins.

A lot of us are probably 15th cousins. I’m pretty sure I’m my own 15th cousin at least once.
