Hello,
If someone is writing a novel about a king, and a minister is talking to the king, should it be "Hello, my king/My King/ my King?"


Thank you.

Within the British monarchy, I believe the correct term of address is "Your Majesty". I don't think "Hello" would be deemed polite enough!

Click HERE and scroll down to "Royalty".

You should capitalize the name of the office.
