I'm confused by the incident involving the person who was using the style of "Sir" from Antigua. Since that island still retains the monarchy, what would be the problem with this man bearing a knighthood as long as it was in fact bestowed by the monarch? Or was this a case of someone simply appropriating a style for himself?

Im always surprised to see that Beatrice's husband is referred to as mister rather than count. They did not do the same thing with the descendants of a prince of Prussia.

Since the Royal Warrant of 1932 the right to use a foreign title by British Subjects is not allowed.
