Who is the Queen's Majesty (note the apostrophe). No one officially speaks to the Monarch, they speak to his or her Majesty. Wikipedia says that "it came to mean" the actual person, and that originally it referred to the inviolable state. Encylcopedia.com describes its etymology to mean "first of the glory of god". Thinking of the word myself I wonder if theres any connection between majesty and magistrate. Could it be the Queen's judge it refers to? Now who could that be?
PS baldy - yep thats helps, thanks.
