How to Style the Royals - Monaco

When writing to the Royals there are a lot of different ways you can address them.

The table below gives two options for the envelope and "Dear _," line.
  • Option #1 is more formal. 
  • Option #2 is informal. 
But there are a number of other options or variations. 
Monaco
Who Envelope #1 Envelope #2 "Dear _," #1 "Dear _," #2
Prince Albert HSH The Sovereign Prince HSH Prince Albert Your Serene Highness Prince Albert
Princess Charlene  HSH The PrincessHSH Princess Charlene Your Serene Highness Princess Charlene

Princess Caroline  HRH The Princess of HanoverHRH (or HSH) Princess Caroline Your Royal  Highness
(or Your Serene Highness)
Princess Caroline
Princess Stéphanie  HSH Princess Stéphanie - Your Serene Highness Princess Stéphanie 

If you are using Princess Caroline's title Princess of Hanover, use HRH. But if you are just saying "Princess Caroline", you can use either HRH or HSH.

You can always leave off the "HSH," "TSH," "HRH," or the "The" in the title if you want. "HSH," "TSH," and "HRH," doesn't need to be spelled out, except when you are using it as your "Dear _," line.
