What would happen if your swore at the queen? would you be arrested for treason?

Question

say for instance you called the queen a '*****' to her face....what would happen to you?

Answer 1

Haha are you serious?

As long as you are just some regular Joe, likely nothing would happen.  

Depending on how in her face you were and where you were at...  you may either be escorted out of the area.... or arrested for disorderly conduct/harrasment.  The latter being very unlikely.

Answer 2

ARE YOU SERIOUS? YOU DON`T CUSS AT ROYALTY.

Answer 3

Nothing would happen. This is 2008 not 1708. Many people have lost respect for the royalty.

Answer 4

It certainly woulnt be treason, but you could be done for public dissorder. Same as if you swore at a police man

Answer 5

Treason is conspiring to overthrow the government or monarchy or aiding it,s enemies. Swearing at the queen would have been ,in olden times, called ,I believe "lese Majeste".  Nowadays it,s just bloody rude and if you swore at anybodys gran in front of me I,d put my boot up yer ****!

Answer 6

You would get arrested and a criminal record, and spend a rough miserable night in police custody.

Answer 7

Certainly not but you would probably be arrested for public disorder same as if you did it to any other person.

Answer 8

"WHY" would you want to ? Have you no respect ? Would you like someone to do that to your mother ?

Now with Bush go ahead & use it all ! He's a moron. No one would care if you did.

Answer 9

I'd feel like a hero. After all, who else has ever done this, and its so overdue. The rotten c**t needs a bringing down to this earth.

Answer 10

I'll give it a try and we'll see.

Answer 11

No not treason. Depending how obnoxious and loud you were and the mood of the nearest representatives of law enforcement (and possibly your level of intoxication )  you'd likely get arrested for public disorder and maybe not treated very politely by the cops.

but why swear and call obscene names at an 81 year old lady?   That would  P.O. a lot of people no matter if it was the queen or anyone's Gran...you might end up getting punched out by some other citizen who thought you needed a lesson in manners.

Answer 12

You would probably get away with it.....you might find yourself having to answer a few questions and having your background extensively investigated, but not likely that you would be charged with a crime.  That said, I think anyone who would do this is rather foolish.  It would serve no point and others might consider you mentally ill or at least immature.

best of luck to you!

Answer 13

Swearing in public (at the Queen or anyone else) like public intoxication is a misdemeanor.

Since I'm an American, I wouldn't be arrested for treason, although I would be arrested for causing a public disturbance just like any British or Commonwealth subject would.

Answer 14

Wow, this is like, "sticking it to 'the man'", so to speak, huh? Like, raising your middle finger to the 'establishment'... Thats ballsy stuff kid. But yeap, I think you'll be arrested by those guards wearing the funny feather hats. Darn that's trouble.

Answer 15

Gosh, no ; the days of the meat-hook are gone!

Answer 16

lmao.. what kind of question is this??? it is interesting to know what would happen though!
