  1. As for as I know, it's customary to address any royalty as "...Your Royal Highness"... I don't think it matters what country they are from...

    However, I did a little search & here is a more definitive answer for you...

    Great question! Made me think about!! :)


  2. I would address her like anyone else. I might call her ma'am, but that would be the extinct of how I would address a queen.

  3. Neither.  Address her as "Your Majesty", if speaking English.

    Also, IGNORE, IGNORE, IGNORE, everything from the SCA on this matter.  The SCA rules are pure fiction.

    Oh!  But her TITLES, ooowie!  Even without any Spanish titles, she claims the following (and they're not all of her titles).

    Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her other Realms and Territories Queen, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith, Lord of Man, Duke of Normandy, Chieftain of the Braemar Gathering, Paramount Chief of the Fijian Islands, The White Heron.

  4. why do you want to know....just call her your majesty!

  5. I would think that she is both the Queen of England and Spain.

  6. If Queen Elizabeth II marries King of Spain, she will be Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Queen Consort/Princess Consort of Spain, and vice versa for the spanish King, he will be King of Spain and King Consort/Prince Consort of the United Kingdom.

    A queen consort is the title given to the wife of a reigning king. Queens consort usually share their husbands' rank and hold the feminine equivalent of their husbands' monarchical titles. Most of the time, however, they have no real power.

    King consort is a title given in some monarchies to the husband of a queen regnant. Nowadays, it is a symbolic title only, the sole constitutional function of the holder being similar to a queen consort, namely to produce an heir to the throne. Spain, Portugal, England and Scotland have all had kings consort; however, since the rank of king normally outranks that of queen, in most monarchies the queen's husband is given the title of prince or prince consort instead.
