Highness
Legal definition for Indian law research
Definition
Highness, a title of honour given to princes. The kings of England, before the time of James I., were not usually saluted with the title of Majesty, but with that of Highness. By Letters Patent of 11th December, 1917, it was provided that the children of a sovereign, and the children of the sons of a sovereign, and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales sall bear the title of Royal Highness and of Prince or Princess. The children of crowned heads generally receive the style of Highness; as also certain rulers of Indian independent states.
