Your Grace
Archbishop's formal address
Your Grace is a formal address for dukes, duchesses, and archbishops in the British system of honorifics.
It functions like a title combined with a pronoun: Your Grace, the carriage is ready.
When speaking about rather than to the person, the form shifts to His Grace or Her Grace.
The address sounds archaic in everyday contexts but remains current in formal aristocratic and ecclesiastical settings.
