Are You Ready to Join the Ranks of Royalty?

In summary, the man pushing this special offer believes that anyone can have ANY title they like, provided they change their first name to one of the royal titles. He claims that this is the easiest way to get yourself a title, and that it doesn't matter if you're an American. He also says that anyone who is foolish enough to believe in the myth that these titles represent merit is doomed.

You TOO can be royalty!

The "name a star after someone" thread reminded me of this special offer:

http://www.regaltitles.com

If you're amongst the 99.98% of people who use the titles Mr, Mrs, Ms or Miss, it's time you were told the harsh truth: these titles say nothing about you and make no impact on anyone - simply because almost everyone uses them.

This wouldn't be too bad... if the remaining 0.02% of people who use real and regal titles - like Lord, Lady, Baron and Baroness - didn't take advantage of this situation. You see, the overwhelming majority of the population are blinded by royal titles - and allow those who have them to claim a lavish lifestyle for themselves...and at the expense of everyone else.
And it's this majority who still believe the myth that these Lords and Ladies, Dukes and Duchesses have actually earned their title - but that simply isn't the case. In reality, these very fortunate people only have their titles because they were lucky enough to have been born into an historic family.
The actual truth is - ANYONE can have ANY title they like. And I'll show you how.

Yay! Everyone becomes royalty and then no one is special!

It probably wouldn't work if you're an American though... Americans have no former history with socially accepted royalty (although our own version of super-CEOs tend to be our notion of the elite) and they would probably be subsequently beaten up (imagine a lord/baron with an distinct American accent).

Hmm... can't one just legally change their first name to "Lord" to bypass this mess altogether and save money?

Many businesses would kill to have a Lord involved with their company.

That doesn't seem logical. People with titles of "Lord" like to live rich, thus employing those types of people would be prohibitively expensive.

Hmm...I'm trying to decide which I'd prefer, Lady Moonbear or Princess Moonbear? I considered Queen Moonbear, but that just didn't have the right ring to it. I sort of fancy the idea of men bowing down before me, kissing the back of my hand and addressing me as M'Lady. :biggrin:

I like Princess Moonbear a bit more.

Why is it the man pushing this only calls himself Steven Scott sans Regal Title? Perhaps he is only playing the fool to catch the wise elitist wannabees. If you look closely at his photo you can see he has been laughing so hard over all this he nearly soiled himself. :-p

I just like the idea of being able to say OFF WITH HIS HEAD! And then having my faithful army carry out my commands.
No wait, I guess that doesn't come with the title.
shoot!

Okay, I think I'll go with Princess Moonbear.

By far the easiest way to get yourself such a title is to legally change your first name to "Duke" or "Baron" etc, so that people would have to address you as such.

FAQ: Are You Ready to Join the Ranks of Royalty?

What does it mean to be royalty?

Being royalty means being a member of a royal family or having royal status, typically inherited from one's ancestors. It often comes with privileges, such as a higher social status and access to wealth and power.

Can anyone become royalty?

Technically, anyone can become royalty through marriage, adoption, or being chosen by a royal family. However, it is rare for someone from a non-royal background to gain royal status.

Do I have to be born into a royal family to be considered royalty?

Yes, in most cases, royal status is inherited through bloodline. However, there are some exceptions where individuals from non-royal families have been granted royal titles or status by a ruling monarch.

What responsibilities come with being royalty?

The responsibilities of being royalty vary depending on the country and royal family. Some may have ceremonial duties, while others may play a more active role in politics and governing their country. There may also be expectations to uphold a certain image and set a good example for the public.

Can I renounce my royal status?

In some cases, it is possible for a member of a royal family to renounce their royal status. However, this is not a common occurrence and may require legal processes and agreements with the ruling monarch. Once renounced, the individual will no longer have any privileges or responsibilities associated with being royalty.
