What's the difference between your majesty and your highness? Should the princess be called Your Majesty or Your Highness?

The difference between your majesty and your highness, and whether the princess should be called your majesty or your highness, is as follows:

1, your majesty refers to the title of respect for the emperor. Translate it into "you". "Historical Records-Jing Ke Stabbed the King of Qin" records that "Qin Wuyang presented a picture box to your Majesty." Courtiers talk to the emperor and dare not call him by his first name. They have to call the waiter under the steps first and tell them, so they are called "Your Majesty".

2. Your Highness: Under the steps of the temple. (It means below the emperor) Event Era Volume II: "Since the Han Dynasty, the crown prince and kings have called their royal highness, which is still in use today." After the Tang Dynasty, His Royal Highness's scope expanded to include Prince, Empress Dowager and Empress.

As can be seen from the above explanation, the princess is not the emperor, but the emperor's immediate family, so she can only be called your highness.
