The phrase dates from the era of Queen Elizabeth II (and before her, George VI's 'guest of His Majesty') and encapsulates British dark humour at its best: treating incarceration with mock-regal politeness. Post-Elizabeth, the equivalent would be 'guest of His Majesty.' Still widely understood and used in British comedy, crime writing, and everyday speech.
