They can't call him sir, that's an honorific in England that has meaning and he lost all formal titles, legally he isn't a sir anymore he's a Mr.

If a southerner visits the UK are then breaking the law with y'all them sirs, and m'aams( is that also protected?)

No, they just can't attempt to use the title like when they're ordering house staff around, he's a commoner now and he needs to accept that fact.
