How should a French-speaking character in my story say "Her Majesty"?

How would a French-speaking palace servant in my fantasy story refer to her queen (or for that matter, her king) when speaking to someone else?

I'm looking for some French version of "Her/His Majesty." I thought about just using "la reine," but wasn't sure if that was correct or not.

    Votre Majesté (if you're addressing her directly)

    Sa Majesté (if you're talking to somebody else)

    It is both male and female, so would do for both characters.

    Your servant could say :

    "Votre majesté" = your Majesty (same for king/queen

    "Votre grandeur" = Your Highness

    Hope this helps, message me if you need help ;)
