Salutation for a Duchess?

Question

Salutation for a Duchess?

Answer 1

Depends. For a "Royal" Duchess, it would be Your Royal Highness. A royal Duchess would be a woman married to a Prince who was created a Duke (generally upon marriage) by the Monarch. Examples would be HRH The Duchess of Gloucester (married to the former Prince Richard) although he inherited the dukedom after the death of his father (and elder brother, Prince William.) Or when Sarah Ferguson married Prince Andrew, she becaume HRH The Duchess of York.

Otherwise the correct form of address is Your Grace.

Answer 2

It depends on if she is a Royal Duchess or just a member of the peerage. A Royal Duchess is "Your Royal Highness then "Ma'am"." A Duchess of the peerage is addressed in formal correspondence as "My Lady Duchess" and is announced in person as "Her Grace The Duchess of--" but addressed in speech as "Your Grace" then "Madam" or "Ma'am". Social equals call her "Duchess".

Same as for a Duke,  Your Grace.

Answer 4

If she is a Royal Duchess, then you must address her as "Your Royal Highness."  A Royal duchess is a member of the British Royal Family, and are all formally titled and styled as "Her Royal Highness."

If she is a Noble Duchess, then you must address her as "Your Grace." A Noble Duchess is a member of the aristocrat class, and are all formally titled and styled as "Her Grace."

Answer 6

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, and to address monarchs of England prior to Henry VIII. 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 and some bishops in the Anglican tradition. 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.

For example, His Grace The Duke of Norfolk, or His Grace The Archbishop of Canterbury; or Your Grace in spoken or written address. Royal Dukes, for example The Duke of York, are addressed with their higher royal title, Royal Highness.
