HRH

HRH is an abbreviation commonly used as a prefix before the name of certain members of a royal family. It stands for "His Royal Highness" or "Her Royal Highness," depending on the gender of the individual. This style of address is typically reserved for princes and princesses, and sometimes for other senior members of a monarchy. The specific individuals who are entitled to be addressed as HRH vary from one monarchy to another and are often defined by royal protocol or established tradition.

The use of "Royal Highness" signifies a particular rank within the royal hierarchy. It distinguishes these individuals from other members of the nobility or aristocracy. The prefix is a formal convention that is used in official documents, correspondence, and when speaking to or about the royal personage in a formal context. While the abbreviation HRH is widely understood, the full titles "His Royal Highness" and "Her Royal Highness" are used in more formal settings. The exact application and scope of the HRH title can be a matter of historical precedent and the specific constitution of a given kingdom.
