Speak in the third person
Dear Teachers,
> It is a courtesy to address members of the Royal Family with Your Majesty’ (when addressing HM the Queen) or ‘Your Royal Highness’ (when addressing the HRH the Crown Prince or HRH the Crown Princess) during a conversation or speak in the third person.
What does "speak in the third person" mean?
I wonder because when you refer to members of the Royal Family while speaking to a third person, it should be "Her Majesty" or "His/Her Royal Highness" instead of "Your".
Thank you!
