Do You Capitalize His Excellency?

Generally speaking, the “Your” forms are capitalized (Your Excellency, Your Majesty), as are “his” forms (His Excellency, Her Majesty), while the “my” forms not (my lord, my liege).

Should his highness be capitalized?

Both “your majesty” and “his imperial highness” are used as titles; thus, all those words should be initially capitalized: “Your Majesty, His Imperial Highness summons the prince to the Command Council's tent.”

Do you Capitalize all words in a salutation?

Capitalize the first word and all nouns in the salutation and complimentary close of a letter. Capitalize all words in a salutation when the receiver is unknown. Capitalize the first and last words, main words, and hyphenated words in titles and headlines.
