How it's used
Reserved exclusively for addressing members of a royal family who are not the reigning monarch. It functions as a formal title of address, similar to how one might use a title in a period drama or historical context. In modern Cantonese, it is almost never used outside of fictional settings, historical discussions, or highly stylized roleplay.
