But Her Majesty the Queen \u2013.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Queen has been on that throne 70 years and actually I would say of all leaders of any kind in the world, probably, despite everything, remains the most respected leader of all of the world,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, f*** me!\u201d Maher replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t call her offensive names in my presence without me calling you out on it,\u201d Morgan answered.<\/p>\n<p>The conversation then turned to the overall idea of royalty itself, and Maher argued that there was no comparison to having to call someone Mr. President and \u201cYour Highness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay, but this is the same kind of thing,\u201d the host of \u00a0\u201cReal Time with Bill Maher\u201d shared. \u201cThe Queen, even though your rational mind must know this is just an incredible bunch of bulls***, just the idea of royalty is offensive to me. \u2026 The premise that some human being calls another human being \u2018Your Highness\u2019 I find to be incredibly illiberal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut you call the leader of your country every four years \u2018Mr. President,\u201d Morgan replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut that\u2019s his job,\u201d Maher said. \u201cThat\u2019s not \u2018Your Highness.\u2019 You don\u2019t see a difference in \u2018Your Highness\u2019 and \u2018Mr. President?&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I think you\u2019re missing the point,\u201d Piers shared. \u201cThe Queen\u2019s job has purely been to be a figurehead of stability and as a calming influence in difficult times. She\u2019s actually been very effective.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOkay but I\u2019m just saying that name \u2018Your Highness\u2019 should be offensive to you,\u201d Maher reiterated.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan said he actually doesn\u2019t call her \u2018Your Highness\u2019 and instead refers to her as \u201cYour Majesty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maher then asked if his guest had actually talked to the queen and he said yes, \u201cmany times,\u201d and shared how the member of the royal family has a pretty great sense of humor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou talk to that exalted wonderful woman?\u201d Maher joked \u201cShe calls you like [former President Donald] Trump calls Hannity?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNot quite like that but she\u2019s very funny,\u201d Morgan shared.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/sharon-osbourne-out-from-talk-show-after-defending-piers-morgan-receiving-potentially-8-figure-payout\">\u00a0Sharon Osbourne Out From Talk Show After Defending Piers Morgan, Receiving Potentially 8-Figure\u00a0Payout<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
