His Grace or Her Grace was the style used to address the monarch of Scotland up to the Act of Union of 1707, which merged the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Scotland. Today, the style is used when referring to non-royal dukes and duchesses in the United Kingdom.

The style His Grace is used for an archbishop in the Church of England as well as in other parts of the Anglican Communion. It is also used in England and certain other English-speaking countries for Roman Catholic archbishops. In the Eastern Orthodox Church it is used for bishops and abbots.

It is used for Dukes as part of the British nobility.

In the fictional world of A Song of Ice and Fire, by George R. R. Martin, Your Grace is used when referring to a monarch.
