  Imperial Highness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
His/Her Imperial Highness (abbreviation HIH) is a style used by members of an Imperial family to denote Imperial - as opposed to royal - status to show that the holder in question is descended from an Emperor rather than a King (compare His/Her Royal Highness).
Today the style has mainly fallen from use with the exception of the Imperial family of Japan, and the descendants of the Imperial Line of Russia who are still addressed as such, although, of course, have no longer any power in Russia.
Archdukes of Austria from the Habsburg dynasty held the style of Imperial and Royal Highness (in German:Kaiserliche und königliche Hoheit), with the "Royal" signifying their status as Princes of Hungary and Bohemia.
