A Twitter post by Dana Schwartz @DanaSchwartzzz that reads Whenever I scold my cat, I use the royal we" so she doesn’t feel so ashamed. “We don’t eat that. We don’t chew on electrical cords," I say. It’s as if I, too, have a problem with eating wires or plastic I found on the floor and she and I are working on that problem together.
The royal “we” refers to me (the speaker) and my majesty. It does not include other people.
This is also why people don’t ask royalty anything about themselves directly, but always ask about their majesty or some other grandiose trait appropriate to their station. It’s honestly funny how ridiculous people can get with their boot licking that this is still considered normal.
