Is there a Wrong Dishonourable title?

Canada’s Westminster system the PM also gets Right Honourable as an title, going to assume it’s similar based on some googling so you could totally use The Rt Hon Sir Keir Starmer, but I’ve very very rarely seen news media use full titles outside of reporting on ceremonial activities.

I think he has that title too by virtue of being an MP, not the PM.
other MPs (I assume all but could be wrong) are also Right Honourable.

Actually Maps are just ‘Honourable’, only Privy Council members are ‘Right Honourable’.

Aha, thanks.
Yeah I noticed some of the cabinet (Angela Raynor, Ed Milliband) had right honourable, but not all, but I didn’t know the criteria.

Hardly anyone used the Queens full title. I’m actually not sure if the King has fewer titles but I bet it’s still long.
But the one that is absolutely wrong is Queen/King of England. There hasn’t been a King/Queen of England for hundreds of years.
