Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 When I was a boy of about 13 or 14, we would have to take a civics class in school . One of the many topics in that class was how to address government officials . For example "The Honorable so and so..." if they were a Governor of a State or " Mr. or Madame Secretary" for those that occupy cabinet positions ie. Treasury , State, and so on. Do you guys have similar studies except specifically in regards to how to address members of the royal family ? Dukes , Lords, Ladies and what not ? Just curious...brought on by a discussion 'tween the wife and I. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frann 882 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Ive met a few different Royals at charity events. I half heartedly bowed like a sap And i'll tell you another thing, it feels very awkward, bowing to another human being. Uncomfortable. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaron Proffitt 142 Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Bravo, Frann... interesting thought Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 never got taught that up here either. Im a royalist myself and would always show resect to the queen,but on the other hand i would show the same respect towards any of my oap. politicians pffft i wouldnt give they c**ts the time of day.in fact if didnt like them i would tell them so lol good question though,cause i dont think there anyone in this country has any respect towards politicians,prob the same in the states. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
