On pronoun usage

Why does Dervorguilla persist in speaking of herself in the third person?

The story:  Dervorguilla the Elder, founder of Oxford University, was in line to become Queen of Scotland but died too young.  Dervorguilla the Younger did not found Oxford University but she is half Scottish and could be channeling the now Queen Pretender, who would be expected to speak and be spoken to in the third person (“… if Your Grace so wishes”; “The Crown consents to your request …”; etc.).
