is there a difference between calling someone "your highness" or "your majesty"?

Hi there! 

‘Your Majesty’ is used for the reigning monarch, as well as their spouse. Kings and queens would be referred to as ‘your majesty,’ whereas other members of the royal family would be referred to as ‘your highness.’ Dukes and duchesses would be referred to as ‘your grace.’ 

Thanks for the question!

how would the people from the castle address to the prince? (if that make sense) Would they call him ”sire” or ”sir” or would they just call him by his name?

Hello! This would vary person-to-person depending on their relationship with the prince, the formality of the occasion, and his personal preference. A lower servant would use terms such as ‘your highness’ and ‘sir/sire’. Someone closer to him, such as a tutor or particularly close servant, might use more familiar names with him, such as his given name or a pet name in private settings. In formal and public settings, it would be more appropriate for them to call him sir, sire, or your highness.

Thank you for the question!
