Royal protocol doesn't apply to Martha Stewart. At a meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla in New York, Stewart reportedly used a nickname for the king, breaking tradition for the proper way of referencing a monarch.

“They don’t need it at all. I need it from them," said Stewart, claiming that the couple looked "great these days."
Stewart joined Charles and Camilla at the King’s Trust Global Gala, hosted at Christie’s New York. The charity was founded by Charles 50 years ago with the goal of helping young people launch their careers. They were joined by a roster of notorious celebrities, including Anna Wintour, Lionel Richie, Charlotte Tilbury, Stella McCartney, and Donatella Versace.
