Hey guys,
So, I fell down a rabbit hole tonight based on how to address a titled peer. Apparently, there are loads of ways, determined by their ranks? Well. I decided to share what I learned with links!
What I thought was particularly relevant was that they specifically point out how to address someone in letters and on envelopes. Also, the children of peers, to some extent.
Given so many folks are playing either a titled peer, or the child of a peer, I felt this info might help.
best,
Greg

Gotta credit @Lady Violet Heloise Blankeney-Coventry (Elizabeth) with this one, but another decent resource for address in correspondence.
The peerage is uptight af is all I'm saying lmao.
