English term
Should I use a capital letter for the word 'royal'
English
Art/Literary
Linguistics
I am translating a historical novel from French to English, and I am unsure
about capitalizing "royal', 'prince',
'queen' etc. These are the 'royals' of
UK & France mainly.
I know I SHOULD know about this!
Puzzled in Canada.

It depends.
No, you do not capitalize the words "royal", "prince", "queen", etc. if you use these words as general terms.
You capital them if they are followed by a name, such as "Prince Charles" or "Queen Elizabeth".
You capitalize the word "royal" in the phrase "Your Royal Highness" - also because it is part of a name.
