My story has a king in the beginning. Then I will include the poor people of his kingdom.

What is the difference between the rich and poor? I mean speech-wise.

because of the fact he's not the king. he's in the line of succession, yet, properly down the record - in the 50's someplace. So, the Queen and 50 atypical persons would want to die for him to alter into king. In maximum places, such as the united kingdom, a woman can use a courtesy form of the guy's call and identify, yet, it does not artwork any opposite direction around. for that reason omit Sally Jones can use the call Mrs John Smith after she marries. in the comparable way omit Sally Jones can substitute into Princess John if she marries a prince. yet, if the Queen married a commoner, he would be an common Mister. in fact, Phillip gave up his remote places titles to marry Elizabeth, and became given the Dukedom by King George. Elizabeth created him a Prince of the united kingdom 10 years after their marriage. If those 2 issues weren't finished, he would be a Mister to on the instant time.

Your majesty, Your Highness, Your Grace. Somewhere along those lines.

My liege. Sire. Your Highness.

If set in England after 1066, the Nobles spoke either pure French or Frenchified-English (pork instead of swine, etc), and the commoners spoke Saxon when they couldn't be overheard by Nobles, or Saxon/ Anglo-Saxon-ified English when they could.

You know Anglo-Saxon-ish words, short, harsh, vulgar, rude, etc.

They would refer to him as "the King" in speaking among themselves. In speaking _to_ him, they would say "sire" or "Your Grace". (Our present term "Your Majesty" got started by Henry VIII of England; it wasn't used earlier.)
