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 Princess | HSH Princess Charlene | Your Serene Highness | Princess Charlene |
| Albert & Charlene | TSH The Sovereign Prince & The Princess | TSH Prince Albert & Princess Charlene | Their Serene Highnesses | Prince Albert & Princess Charlene |
| Crown Prince Jacques | HSH The Crown Prince | HSH Crown Prince Jacques | Your Serene Highness | Crown Prince Jacques |
| Princess Gabriella | HSH Princess Gabriella | - | Your Serene Highness | Princess Gabriella |

| Princess Caroline | HRH The Princess of Hanover | HRH (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.
