Editing Excellency (section)

=== Royalty ===
In some monarchies the [[husband]]s, [[wife|wives]], or children of a [[royal prince]] or princess, who do not possess a princely title themselves, may be entitled to the style. For example, in [[Spain]] spouses or children of a born ''[[infante]]'' or ''[[infanta]]'' are addressed as ''Excellency'', if not accorded a higher style.

Former members of a royal house or family, who have forfeited a royal title, may be awarded the style afterwards. Examples are former husbands or wives of a royal prince or princess, including [[Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg]], following her divorce from [[Prince Joachim of Denmark]]. Likewise, [[Count Carl Johan Bernadotte of Wisborg]], who lost his succession rights to the [[Monarch of Sweden|Swedish throne]] and discontinued use of his royal titles in 1946 when he married the commoner Elin Kerstin Margaretha Wijkmark, was accorded the style.

In some [[emirate]]s, such as [[Kuwait]] and [[Qatar]], the Emir, heir apparent and prime minister are called ''His Highness''. Their children are styled with ''His/Her Excellency'' unless they possess a higher honorific.
