🍵 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!"
