roy·al “we”
noun
the use of “we” instead of “I” by an individual person, as traditionally used by a sovereign.
"Queen Victoria once remarked, with British understatement, “we are not amused.”"
It may also be that she staffs with other colleagues daily/weekly in general and they bring up issues (not even necessarily with names attached) that are discussed and after those meetings she has a different perspective. She may not be referring to you specifically by name at all. Even if she is, that is pretty standard practice within clinics where staffing/supervisory discussions are part of their routine. Therefore, when she refers to "we," she is talking about standard practice at that clinic probably based on staffing consultations that are probably pretty routine there.
