Verb with "Your majesty"

Hi

Should I use "wish" or "wishes"?

[man to his wife in a light mood]

Well, if your majesty wish/wishes so, we'll certainly go there.

If your majesty haven't/hasn't met him already....??

Thanks,

Tom

"If your majesty hasn't met him already....??"

Could I request some more light on this topic?
