This sentence uses which figurative device?

Select one:

- Metonymy
- Synecdoche
- Metaphor
- Apostrophe

Metonymy

Explanation:

The first thing I want to look at is the definition of each figurative device.

Metonymy - the substitution of the name of an attribute or adjunct for that of the thing meant, for example, suit for business executive, or the track for horse racing.

Synecdoche - a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa, as in Cleveland won by six runs (meaning “Cleveland's baseball team”).

Metaphor - a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

Apostrophe - a speech or address to a person who is not present or to a personified object, such as Yorick's skull in Hamlet.

After looking at these definitions I have concluded that the correct option is metonymy referincing to "Crown" as being a replacement to the royal family or the king in either case.
