Where does the "Her Majesty" bit come from and why is it still in use? I have no problem with "The Queen of England" or "Queen Elizabeth II of England" but don't understand the majestic bit.

Where does the “Her Majesty” bit come from and why is it still in use?

I have no problem with “The Queen of England” or “Queen Elizabeth II of England” but don’t understand the majestic bit.

Can you help?
