What happens if you refuse to use the right title when talking to royalty? (feddit.uk)

So as with all things, I'm watching the episode of Bluey where they dress up as the Queen. It got me wandering.

What happens if you refuse to use the right title when talking to the King, Queen and other prominent Royals?

In my head you're arrested, imprisoned in the ToL, given a faux-trial and then find your head quickly removed from your body. I'm wrong right?

Easier if you're younger, I suspect. My sister met the queen as part of the golden jubilee celebrations when she was 11 and didn't curtsey, partly because she was disgusted that Liz didn't say thank you when gifted a golden owl by the city.
