 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).
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).
In the Yugoslavian Royal Family the system is almost the same as in Denmark: Crown Prince Alexander, his wife and three children are styled "Royal Highnesses" as well as his two uncles Prince Tomislav and Prince Andrej, while their children and the descendants of Prince Paul are styled only as "Highnesses".
