King's Title in The Irish State
The King's title in the Irish Free State (1922–1937) and in Ireland (1937–1949) was exactly the same as it was elsewhere in the British Commonwealth, being:
- From 1922–1927: By the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland and of the British Dominions beyond the Seas King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India
- From 1927–1949: By the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas King, Defender of the Faith, Emperor of India
The King's title during this period was never simply "King of Ireland".
