Imperial Majesty (style)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Imperial Majesty (His/Her Imperial Majesty, abbreviated as HIM) is a style used by Emperors and Empresses. The style is used to distinguish the status of an emperor from that of a king, who is simply styled Majesty (HM).
Today the style has mainly fallen from use with the exception of the Emperor and Empress of Japan (in Japanese: 陛下, heika).
