Your Royal Majesty

Crown's formal greeting

Your Royal Majesty is a formal address for a king or queen, used when speaking directly to the monarch.

The phrase appears in ceremonial contexts, official proceedings, or when subjects petition the crown: Your Royal Majesty, we humbly request an audience.

In practice, "Your Majesty" alone suffices—the "Royal" adds emphatic formality but is largely redundant.
