<sup>1</sup><small>Note that an individual may hold one or more noble ''titles'' <u>and</u> hold one or more governmental ''appointments''.  While the noble title or titles could be removed by the Grand Duke, such titles are typically either life-long or hereditary, appointments may come and go and can also be held by the non-noble citizenry.  When addressing a person with both a noble or ministerial/ colonial title, it is customary to refer to and address that person by his or her highest ranking position in the Order of Precedence, whatever that is.  So a baron who was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs would be addressed as "Your Excellency" so long as he/ she remained Minister, but would revert to "Your Lordship"/ ""Your Ladyship" if he or she were to leave this office and not receive another appointment  with a form of address higher in the order of precedence than that of baron.  A citizen who was Commissioner of the Treasury would be addressed as "your honor" while holding that position, but would become simply "Mr.", "Ms.", etc. if/ when he/ she left office.</small>
<br>
<sup>2</sup><small>Most colonial viceroys already possess a princely title which accords them a princely style. The style "Viceroyal Highness" should only be used when it is of higher precedence than the holder's existing princely style.
