6 preposterous english titles

No English-speaking country has so many titles as England herself, both “at home” and in the Colonies, particularly in India. Here are a few examples:

  • His Excellency the Right Honorable Lord Curzon, viceroy and governor-general of India
  • His Highness the Prince Pospo Admojo
  • His Highness the Maharaja of Mysore
  • His Highness Sir James Bourdillon, Lieutenant-Governor of Punjab
  • The Honorable Colonel Baring, Military Secretary of the Viceroy of India
  • His Highness the Gaekwar of Baroda
