Her Highness

Princess's formal address

Her Highness is a formal title of address for a princess or other female royal below the rank of queen.

It typically appears with modifiers indicating rank: Her Royal Highness for closer relatives of the monarch, Her Serene Highness for lesser royalty.

The male equivalent is His Highness.

Used sarcastically, it mocks someone acting imperious: Her Highness demands we wait on her hand and foot.
