Whoever is reverting the list of styles, stop. I created the list and have added styles on as they have come to notice; all exist and are legitimate. I have no idea what you are on about. Yanksta x 13:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
I understand that HH The Aga Khan was granted the style of His Highness by HM Queen Elisabeth II in 1957.
It was later upgraded to His Royal Highness by the Shah of Iran. Yanksta x 13:48, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
The article states "Before 1917, it was also used by some junior members of the British royal house." In fact it was used after that time, by Princess Marie Louise and Princess Helena.
It was also used by Princess Maud, Countess of Southesk.
Pincess Maud's sister, Princess Alexandra did not use it after she married HRH Prince Arthur of Connaught. And their son Prince Alastair of Connaught who was born HH lost the style in 1917.
It would appear that those using the style of imperial highness would outrank a royal highness. With this being the case would member of the Imperial House of Japan, outrank member of the british royal family i.e in theory would The Prince of Wales be expected to bow before The Crown Prince of Japan ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.93.21.103 ( talk • contribs)
The styles used officially in Norway are majestet (Majesty) and kongelig høyhet (Royal Highness) only. Styles such as høyhet (Highness) or eksellense (Excellence) do not exist. Junior members of the royal family, including the king's sisters, the crown prince's sister, or his younger children, do not hold any styles at all. Occasionally some of them may be referred to as "Highness" by foreigners merely by courtesy or assumption or pretence, but this style has no legal basis in Norway and they are not "official holders of the style Highness".

I am pretty sure that Highness (HH) has a higher precedence than Serene Highness. In fact I believe it comes directly after Royal Highness (HRH) in precedence. I am happy to be proven wrong, but this is how these styled are usually understood in royal and princely circles ¬¬¬¬ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2407:7000:8402:B200:D81F:F7CA:2C7:5926 ( talk) 02:31, 15 December 2018 (UTC)
The style of Highness ranks above all the other variations bar Royal Highness and Imperial Highness. 2407:7000:8402:B200:A432:9E16:864A:8D1D ( talk) 10:04, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

I propose that Exalted Highness be merged into this article. It would fit well if merged into Highness#Modified forms considering the other entire article is barely even a brief paragraph. Estar8806 ( talk) 00:03, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
