What's the difference between calling the monarch "your majesty" and "your highness"?

The difference is in rank! "Majesty" is the highest title or rank given to a member of the royal family and is used to address kings, queens, emperors, and empresses. Meanwhile, "Highness" is lower in rank and is the title for princes, princesses, and other royalty. In this video, the speaker is confused about the right title used for address, so he is making up new ones by combining different titles that already exist. Ex: Her Majesty, the Queen. Ex: This is His Royal Highness, Prince William.
