Do sovereign princes have crown juwels?
Can they call themself "HRH"?
Does "HSH" mean "His Serene Highness"? I belive it should have been
"HMSH - His Most Serene Highness".

Do they have the font of honour?
Are there any international rules about who can have the font of
honour?

Olav, some of your questions are lengthy and complicated and can't be
answered simply, even by the many erudite people on this group. Some are
so glaringly obvious as to indicate you've done no work on this subject
yourself and are using the group to save you effort. PLEASE go to your
library, or buy the relevant books on the subjects that interest you,
read them, make notes of the things you don't understand, even after
considerable thought, and then come back with pertinent questions that
can be more easily and readily answered by those willing to help you.
That would be valuable study time and indicate that you have a geuine
interest. You might also like to take a course in European history which
would give you a lot of background. Some dictionaries will tell you
what initials stand for. If on the other hand, as I suspect because of
the nature of your questions, this is a wind-up, I have to say it's now
the most tedious one could imagine.

-Yes, I will go to the library today if they aren't closed.

This s purely a matter of option and circumstance.

If sovereign,it's possible.

: "HMSH - His Most Serene Highness".

HSH is a known style,I have never heard of HMSH.

: Do they have the font of honour?

Yes.

Not universally accepted.

By "wind-up" she means you (she suspects) are asking silly questions
with the sole purpose of seeing how long the group will continue
humoring you.

But misleading. "Royal Highness" implies being in remainder to a
Kingship (or, if female in a Salic house ... you know what I mean).

Damnit Olav, a sovereign can call himself whatever he can get his
lackeys to repeat. Is there any point to this line of questions??
