Imperial and Royal Highness
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperial and Royal Highness (in German:Kaiserliche und königliche Hoheit) is a style possessed by someone who either through birth or marriage holds two individual styles, Imperial Highness and Royal Highness.
The style is used by members of the Habsburg dynasty who use the titles Prince Imperial and Archduke of Austria and Prince Royal of Bohemia and Hungary. One contemporary example of this is Prince Lorenz, Archduke of Austria-Este and his children who are members of the Belgian Royal Family and of the Austrian Imperial Family at the same time.
The style was also used by the eldest son of the German Emperor who was Crown Prince of the German Empire and Crown Prince of Prussia. It is still used by the Head of the House of Hohenzollern.
