The later posts by Zubeydah and Chiara were correct; it is a persona
preference for TRM. As Hillary noted, there are not necessarily a lot of
options since the "Rex et Regina" is used in a lot of places but... Her
Majesty asked that I let the preference be known. I believe that where
They have the choice, TRM will choose charters with that phrasing over the
Latin. Where there is not a choice, there simply is not a choice. (Unless
of course some enterprising scribes and artists want to make some more
charters?! ;-)
On Hillary's suggestion concerning the words from the herald's mouth,
Countess Sara is on this list and might share that suggestion with Master
Modius who is the Crown's personal herald this reign. At last Queen's
Champion I learned that the herald reading the charters reverses the names
and titles of the Queen and King though the charter has the text as King
and Queen. (I didn't know that before then.) This is much the same
principal if it is an approach that Their Majesties desire.
