grandly
In majestic fashion
Grandly means in a grand or impressive manner—with magnificence, stateliness, or sweeping scale: The mansion stood grandly atop the hill.
It can also suggest pompousness or self-importance: He grandly announced he would be taking charge.
The word often carries a hint of irony when describing behavior that seems overly theatrical or pretentious.
