  Royal Styles and the uses of "Highness"
Following 1917 the style of Highness was dropped in the British Royal family and the title of prince/princess only allowed for the issue of the sovereign and for the grandchildren in the male line of a sovereign (with the addition of the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales).
Most Serene Highness was given to the the rest of the descendants of the king.
Highness (højhed) is used by all other members of the royal family, i.e., grandchildren, great-grandchildren, etc., of a monarch (as long as they are members of the royal family, i.e., that their marriages have been approved by the Council of State).

Son of Johann Ambrosius Bach, organist and town musician, J. Bach was orphaned at the age of 10 and went to live with his elder brother Johann Christoph at Ohrdruf where he had klavier and organ lessons.

In regard to the first general point of the Most Serene Ladyship, it seems to me very prudent of her to propose and of you to concede and to agree that the Holy Scripture can never lie or err, and that its declarations are absolutely and inviolably true.

I should believe that the authority of the Holy Write has merely the aim of persuading men of those article and propositions which are necessary for their salvation and surpass all human reason, and so could not become credible through some other science or any other means except the mouth of the Holy Spirit itself.
