It's called name style... the highest royalty ( the queen or king) is styled Your Majesty, other members of the family are style "Your Highness", Ambassadors and Democratic Presidents are often styled "Your Excellency" with the exception of the US President. Hope I helped

Address British kings and queens as "Your Majesty" and introduce them as "(His) or Her Majesty, (the King) or Queen."

Address princes and princesses as "Your Royal Highness" and introduce them as "His (or Her) Royal Highness."

Address Dukes and Duchess as "Your Grace" or "Duke" or "Duchess". Introduce them as "the Duke (or Duchess)," for example, "of Marlborough."

Use "Sir" or "Ma'am" after the first introduction.
