Full, theoretical titles of members of European royal houses

In most cases only the Head of the House carried/carries the full string
of titles, while the princes and princesses only use the most important
ones.

Back to your original list:

Austria: Imperial and Royal Highness, Imperial Prince and Archduke of
Austria, Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia.

Bavaria: Royal Highness, Prince of Bavaria

Belgium: Royal Highness, Prince of Belgium (before 1918 also Prince of
Saxe-Coburg and Gotha and Duke of Saxony)

Greece*: Royal Highness, Prince of Greece and Denmark

Hesse: Highness, Prince of Hesse

Luxembourg: Royal Highness, Prince of Luxembourg, of Nassau and of
Bourbon-Parma

Norway*: Royal Highness (at least for the ones in the direct line of
succession), Prince of Norway

Prussia: Royal Highness, Prince of Prussia

Charles von Hamm...

Forgot to add, is Duke of Mecklenburg also a possibility?

Frank Johansen...

For the head of the House - yes. He - theoretically, accoring to an old
treaty - iherited it when the House of Mecklenburg (proper) went extinct
some years ago.

Frank H. Johansen

Charles von Hamm

Russia: Imperial Highness, Grand Prince of Russia (or Highness, Prince
of Russia)

Saxony:
Kingdom: Royal Highness, Prince of Saxony
Duchies: Highness, Prince of Saxe-X-Y, Duke of Saxony

Donald Renouf...

Weren't they also Dukes of Juelich, Kleve and Berg, Landgraves in
Thuringia, Margraves of Meissen, Princely Counts of Henneberg, Counts
of the Mark and of Ravenstein...?

Frank Johansen...

The Heads of each Branch - yes. But not the junior Princes and
Princesses did not use this title.

Frank H. Johansen

Spain: Royal Highness, Infant of Spain

Sweden: Royal Highness, Prince of Sweden

The United Kingdom*: Royal Highness, Prince of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Northern Ireland

"The United Kingdom, Greece, Denmark and Norway: What are all the
possible Oldenburg titles in addition to each national title? All share
the Danish title."

The full title used by the members of the Oldenburg dyansty were "Duke
of Schelswig, Holstein, Stormarn, Ditmarschen, Lauenburt and Oldenburg,
Heir of Norway."

But none of the descendants of Christian IX have used these titles
(except the Kings themselves).

And only Greece retained "Prince of Denmark" as part of their title.
Norway and UK (Philip) stopped using it.

What would some of the full, theoretical titles of members (the princes/etc
of each family, not necessarily the head) of the following royal, imperial
and grand ducal) families:

Austria

Don Aitken...

Charles von Hamm...

In English:

Karl the First, by the Grace of God, Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of
Hungary, of this name the Fourth, King of Bohemia, of Dalmatia, of Croatia,
of Slavonia, of Galicia, of Lodomeria, and of Illyria; King of Jerusalem,
Archduke of Austria; Grand Duke of Tuscany and of Cracow, Duke of Lorraine
and of Salzburg, of Styria, of Carinthia, of Carniola and of the Bukovina;
Grand Prince of Transylvania; Margrave of Moravia; Duke of Upper and Lower
Silesia, of Modena, of Parma, of Piacenza and of Guastalla, of Auschwitz and
of Zator, of Teschen, of Friuli, of Ragusa and of Zara; Princely Count of
Habsburg and of Tyrol, of Kyburg, of Gorizia and of Gradisca; Prince of
Trent and of Brixen; Margrave of Upper and Lower Lusatia and in Istria;
Count of Hohenems, of Feldkirch, of Bregenz, and of Sonnenberg; Lord of
Trieste, of Cattaro, and in the Wendish Mark; Grand Voivode (Grand Duke?) of
the Voivodship (Grand Duchy?) of Serbia etc. etc.

But what of the archdukes and archduchesses? The full titles of the heads of
these families tend to be well documented... Buy exploring other dynastic
titles that members of a house may have, it covers everyone. For instance,
were all archdukes Counts of Habsburg? Since the Emperor was titled Grand
Duke of Tuscany, were the archdukes Princes of Tuscany? Did any of these
titles historically have titles for agnates?

cj.buyers...

In the case of the Habsburgs the answer is partly yes.

I was trying to research these titles when preparing my entry on
Maximilan for my chapter on Mexico. However, the best I could find in
the Hof- und Staats-Handbuch (1857) were as follows: "Archduke and
Imperial Prince of Austria, Royal Prince of Hungary and Bohemia, Count
of Hapsburg, Prince of Loraine, etc, etc"

On thinking on this again I suppose it could really be "Prince Count",
but would have to check again.

The etc, etc, may hide a host, including the possibility that nobody
actually knew exactly what all the titles were.
