... while walking down the street, and you want to know what time it is, and so you decide to ask her, since she's wearing a nice watch.

1) are you supposed to address her as your highness?
2) would you?
3) why or why not?

I would.

i wish i could see what the red x is all about

it's a picture that dimejinky once got banned for.

not that i don't enjoy rm shenanigans as much as anyone but this came up in an office debate, so i was kinda expecting some useful input guys.

of course I would ask her. Why would you pass up the chance to talk to someone famous?

If you need to know the time, i dont see why you wouldnt ask her. I'm sure shes pretty hard to get to though.

you guys totes missed the point. it's not about asking her the time, it's about whether you would or wouldn't address her as "your highness"

Guys, what if she asked you for the time?

it would be disrespectful not to

I mean, yeah I would. It's what you are supposed to do, right? Even if you aren't British. I once had to brief the Prime Minister of Australia (John Howard). He asked me a question and I addressed him as Mr. Prime Minister.

I would have addressed him as Mr. Roo.

i think it's ridiculous you have to call her your majesty when we all agree the concept of monarchy is completely stupid. plus, it's in the street, it's not like i went in her house and harrassed her. in short, i wouldn't call her your majesty.

a prime minister is different, he actually did something to earn the title other than just being born into the right family.

disagrees

excellent

that's my point. am i disrespectful for not calling him maestro or is he a douche because he wants to be called maestro?
