Royal Highness
Royal Highness (
abbreviation
HRH) is a
style
(His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness); plural Royal Highnesses (abbreviation TRH, Their Royal Highnesses). It appears in front of the names of some members of some
royal families
other than the
King
or
Queen
.The style His/Her Royal Highness ranks below
His/Her Imperial Highness
(referring to an Imperial House) but above
His/Her Grand Ducal Highness
,
His/Her Highness
,
His/Her Serene Highness
and some other styles (referring to Grand Ducal, Princely or Ducal Houses).In the
British monarchy
the style of HRH is associated with the rank of
prince
or
princess
(although this has not always applied, the notable exception being
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh
, who was given the style of HRH in
1947
but was not created a prince until
1958
). This is especially important when a prince has another title such as
Duke
(or a princess the title of Duchess) by which he or she would usually be addressed. For instance
HRH The Duke of Connaught
was a prince and a member of the royal family while
His Grace The Duke of Devonshire
is a non-royal duke and not a member of the
British Royal Family
.
The Lady Louise Windsor
, daughter of
The Earl of Wessex
, is legally Her Royal Highness Princess Louise of Wessex but it was decided by her parents that she be styled as the daughter of an earl and not Her Royal Highness.
The Duke of York's
daughters Princesses
Beatrice
and
Eugenie
enjoy the style Her Royal Highness.
