"Royal Highness" is for any member in the immediate royal family."Royal Majesty" is reserved for the sovereign, the reigning king or queen.

When you write the style it is "His/Her Royal Highness", when you speak it is "Your Royal Highness".Right now their are 20 people entitled to use the the term his/her royal highness. There is only one person who can use the title Her Royal Majesty. The rules for HRH are the same for Prince and Princess.

-----------------------

The terms "His Royal Highness" "Her Royal Highness" and "Their Royal Highness" apply to

(1) sons and daughters of the monarch, and

(2) to grandchildren legitimately born by male offspirng

(3) children of Prince William

------------

If you are a woman and you marry a prince you get to use the title. If you are a man and you marry into the family you cannot.

Queen Elizabeth has five cousins that are still alive. Four of them are descended from her uncles so they are entitled to use the style HRH. Three of those four have a living spouse so they are referred to as Royal Highness.

-------------------------------

HERE IS THE TOTAL COUNT OF 20 that can use HRH

4 cousins of QE born from her uncles only

3 spouses of the 4 cousins (one cousin is a widow)

1 husband of QE

4 children of QE

2 spouses of the 3 male children of QE (Camille and Sophie)

6 grandchildren of QE through her sons only.

-- Peter & Zara have no title whatsoever.

-------------------------------

Prince Edward and his wife have made a personal decision not to use the full titles for her and their children. His wife usually goes by Countess of Essex instead of her full title:

"Her Royal Highness The Princess Edward Antony Richard Louis, Countess of Wessex, Viscountess Severn".

They have chosen not to call their children HRH and Prince and Princess because they feel that it is puts undue pressure on the children,

"Royal Majesty" is used as the style of a King or Queen (both Queen regnants and Queen consorts). It is generally shortened to simply "Majesty" unless the person also carries an imperial title (Emperor or Empress), whereby the full style is usually "His/Her Imperial and Royal Majesty," which was used by, for example, the Emperors of Austria (who were also Kings of Hungary) and the German Emperors (who were also Kings of Prussia).

"Royal Highness" on the other hand, is used mainly by members of royal families other than the King or Queen (usually people with the title of Prince of Princess). It has also historically been used as the style for reigning grand dukes (the Grand Dukes of Luxembourg today, for example, although lesser members of that family also carry the Royal Highness style in accordance with their positions as members of the House of Bourbon-Parma).
