  1. Majesty is an English word derived ultimately from the Latin Maiestas, meaning Greatness. A King and Queen are addressed as "His or Her Royal Majesty." In the presence of a monarch, you must address the King/Queen as "Your Majesty", when you are introducing the King/Queen to a third party, you must address them as "His or Her Majesty." So basically, whenever you are addressing or talking about the monarch to a third party, you must address the monarch as "His or Her Majesty." This figure of speech is also a show of "respect" and "honour."


  2. Because the "Majesty" is hers not anyone else

  3. Because a king is a His Majesty.

  4. cause she da queen
