"'Her Royal Majesty'" is a song written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King and performed by James Darren. It reached #6 on the U.S. pop chart and #36 on the UK Singles Chart in 1962.
The song was arranged and produced by Stu Phillips.
This song is considered a sequel to Darren's previous hit song "Goodbye Cruel World" (1961). It's about a sad man, who had lost his love, becoming the king of fools, to her royal majesty. The Music is in the style of a British music Hall number, with a brass and wind section, plus a snare drum rhythm, playing royal coronation music. The song begins with a drum roll, with Darren announcing: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Presenting her Royal Majesty".
The song ranked #80 on 'Billboard' magazine's Top 100 singles of 1962."[http://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-Billboard/60s/1962/BB-1962-12-29-Who's-Who.pdf Top 100 Singles of 1962]", 'Billboard', Section II, December 29, 1962. p. 82. Retrieved March 4, 2019.
