I agree with Nesrin Royal Highness (abbreviation HRH) is a style (His Royal Highness or Her Royal Highness); plural Royal Highnesses (abbreviation TRH, Their Royal Highnesses). It appears in front of the names of some members of some royal families other than the King or Queen

Nesrin Aug 10, 2008:
His Majesty I would use "His Majesty" to refer to the king. HRH is reserved for princes, as far as I know.
Heather Shaw (asker) Aug 10, 2008:
The problem is in the context - If I say, "The Center also accepts transfers from other parties from all areas of the Kindom and from His Royal Higness the King and their royal highnesses, the Princes" it just doesn't sound right. There must be some standard translation for this.

Any suggestions?

I'm not sure if it's alright to leave out the word "princes", but this is what I would do (unless the sentence continues, specifying the names of the princes: "and TRH, Princes so-and-so and so-and-so).

"In the British monarchy the style of HRH is associated with the rank of prince or princess" (Wikipedia), so I think the English reader will understand that "Their Royal Highnesses" refers to princes.

Note: I would say "His Majesty and Their Royal Highnesses". I think that would make it clear that it refers to the king and the princes.

This is about the British royal family, but it's a similar case (about the queen making a visit with the Prince of Wales and his missus):

neutral Sam Berner : Doesn't it also refer to the King and Queen?

Their Royal Highnesses, the Princes..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Her_Royal_Highness (for plural), and also capitalize. Or if too much typing, just TRH, the Princes..

Responding to your question, "as well as from Their Royal Highnesses the King and the Princes" seems to me to do the trick.
