The royal titles are often distinct from those of the nobility even if they maintain the same names. The rules that the current thrones of Grensalbourg, and the Hveden Federation follow are directly inherited from the [[Monarchy of Empherias]]. This is because the Hveden royal family, related to the Empheri one, was restored following political strife and thus modelled itself off of Empherias. When the throne of Grensalbourg was established, it was a complete transfer from Empherias. Thus, when the two fused in the personal union, the Hveden model (which had already been very much based on the Empheri system) was abandoned in favour of the Empheri system being used currently for the Grensalbourg throne. |

The monarchy of Empherias, and thus the monarchy of Grensalbourg, uses the title of [[Rijkse]] (for men) and [[Rijkdottir]] (for women) for the monarch. This literally translates to son or daughter of the kingdom, and is symbolic of the monarch's duty to serve the kingdom. The spouse of the monarch does not receive a title on-par with the royal. Instead, the spouses are either King (for men), and Queen (for women). The term regent is used for when another royal family member is leading a regency council on behalf of another monarch that is either determined to be incapable of ruling via an act of parliament, or below the age of 18. Regents are used people closest to the monarch, usually uncles or close children - not necessarily the next in line. Spouses, or non-royal-born parents may act as regents and thus monarchs in their own right but only children they have with the monarch are ever in the line of the succession. All regents, and rijkse/rijkdottir's receive a regnal number and are official monarchs. |

The monarchy of the Hveden Federation is of an Emperor of the whole federation that would rule over the many lesser kings in the federation, such as the King of Kusfeld (although, since John II, these have been the same person). The title that is currently held by George V, the Rijkse of Grensalbourg, is the Emperor of the Hveden Federation. This is the only title in the royal family that mentions these two countries, or any other country in general. |

There are no set standards on the giving out of royal titles, and rules can often change depending on the whim of the monarch in power. Note, the use of the word ''Prince'' here is gender-neutral, with the male term being ''Prins'', and the female term being ''Princess''. The male words for the rest of the titles will be used because they are shorter, but please note that female versions do exist and are used. The current standard is thus: |
