🍵 4. Tea with the Queen Roleplay

Imagine you’re invited to tea with Her Majesty!

  • Practice lines:

     

    • “Your Majesty, would you care for another cup of tea?”
    • “This Earl Grey is delightful, isn’t it?”Perfect for mastering polite British phrases and the all-important RP intonation.

    Here’s an imaginary conversation…….

    🏰 The Royal Tea Party Begins

    👑 The Queen/King:

    "Ah, welcome! Do take a seat. I trust you had a pleasant journey?"

    🫖 You:

    "Your Majesty, it is an absolute honour to be here. Yes, thank you, the journey was most agreeable."

    👑 The Queen/King:

    "Splendid. Now, do tell me, do you take milk in your tea?"

    🫖 You: (carefully enunciating your vowels)

    "Yes, please, just a splash. And perhaps a slice of lemon, if I may be so bold?"

    ☕ The Butler: (arriving with a silver tray)

    "Here you are, madam/sir. A perfectly brewed Earl Grey, accompanied by a selection of finger sandwiches and scones."

    🫖 You:

    "How delightful! I must say, these scones look rather exquisite. Do you prefer yours with cream first or jam first, Your Majesty?"

    👑 The Queen/King: (raising an eyebrow)

    "Ah, the age-old debate! I must say, I am firmly in the jam-first camp. It is, after all, the Cornish way."

    🫖 You: (chuckling lightly)

    "Quite right. I shall follow suit, though I fear I may offend any Devonshire guests in the room!"

    👑 The Queen/King: (sipping tea, nodding approvingly at your impeccable pronunciation)

    "Tell me, how do you find life in Britain? Are you enjoying our peculiar little customs?"

    🫖 You:

    "Absolutely! I particularly enjoy the British love for a good queue. I’ve never seen such orderliness anywhere else in the world."

    👑 The Queen/King: (smiling)

    "Ah, yes. We do love a queue. A most civilised tradition."

    ☕ The Butler: (interrupting gently)

    "Would you care for a second cup, Your Majesty?"

    👑 The Queen/King:

    "Why not? One can never have too much tea."

    🫖 You: (politely raising your cup)

    "Indeed. To tea and tradition!"
