'Their Imperial Highnesses' vs 'Their Imperial Majesties'

Image Shinto unity threatened by protocol blip
Tokyo, Japan, Jun. 4 (UPI)-- Japan's ancient Shinto religion is embroiled in a raging controversy based on a simple misuse of a title in an invitation...the keepers of Tokyo's Meiji Shrine... sent out invitations to a memorial service for a 19th century empress, and mistakenly referred to Emperor Akihito and his wife as "Their Imperial Highnesses" instead of "Their Imperial Majesties."
...the shrine took the ultimate sanction and left the association.
Now, the association is frantically lobbying the shrine, which pays annual dues of $135,000, to reverse its decision.
