Citizens,

Recently I have observed that some citizens, not just Mr. Williams mind you, are unaware of the proper manner in which Royalty, Nobility, and Gentry are addressed. In order to correct this problem, I now provide the following comprehensive guide to formal address:-

[doHTML]

Royalty

Rank Form of Address Salutation
King of Hanover His Majesty the King of Hanover Your Majesty
Royal Peer His Royal Highness the Duke of Guelph Your Royal Highness
Relative of the King His Royal Highness the Prince Daniel Your Royal Highness

Nobility

Duke The Most Noble the Duke of Brunswick My Lord Duke or informally Your Grace
Marquess The Most Honourable the Marquess of Calormen My Lord Marquess
Count The Right Honourable the Count of Durham My Lord
Viscount The Right Honourable the Viscount McIntyre of Lancaster My Lord
Baron The Right Honourable the Lord Livingston of Oldenburg My Lord

Gentry

Great Officer of State1 The Right Honourable the Lord Chancellor Your Lordship
Knight Sir Kieran Evereste Sir Kieran
Privy Counsellor The Right Honourable John Harvey2 Mr Harvey
Legate His Excellency the Legate of Emden Your Excellency
Judge The Honourable John Smith Your Honour

1The Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chamberlain, the Lord President of the Council, and the Lord Rose King of Arms.

2For Peers, the postnominal letters "PC" are used.

This guide is based upon British standards, with allowances made for titles unique to Hanover. I hope that it proves useful.

Sincerely,

Lord Durham
So I am assuming "hey, you" is out of the question? smilie

Richard Williams

King Louis of Varennes

Does this mean I can't address Kieran as "slut" anymore?

Killjoy.

<_<
Yeah if you call Him His Grace the SLut
Oh man, I would hate to see what I am referred to...

Richard Williams

King Louis of Varennes

Why, "Blue-Eyes", of course.

Your Majesty,

We think you give Sir Keiran far too much credit with the endearment of slut as it presupposes he has managed physical relations. He has, to Our knowledge at least, never claimed to be anything beyond a spotless virgin of impeccable moral standing.

Regards,
HM Alexander of All Hanover
The endearment "blue eyes" is much better than "slut" and I am most grateful that His Majesty has taken to calling me that instead of something else. I consider myself most fortunate indeed.

Richard Williams
I count myself thankful that His Majesty does not refer to me in any way whatsoever. <_<
