Ducal Serene Highness

His/Her Ducal Serene Highness (abbreviation: HDSH) is a style used by members of certain ducal families, such as those of Nassau, Braganza and Saxe-Coburg and Gotha (until 1844). This treatment is superior to Serene Highness, because it takes the adjective ducal (relative at duke).
