Grand duchess is a title used by ladies who are the daughters of a grand duke. In ancient times, it was used to describe a female ruler of a grand duchy. Nowadays, it is mostly seen in royal titles, though it still has a few historical uses.

In contemporary usage, the title of grand duchess is reserved for female members of the European royal families, particularly those of the Russian, German, and Austrian royalty. The grand duchesses generally ranked as princesses in these royal houses. The grand duchess was typically the highest title used by female members of the family.

In some European countries such as Germany and Austria, grand duchesses are still members of the royal family. They are generally members of the House of Wittelsbach or House of Habsburg. Recently, a few grand duchesses have been married into the House of Windsor, thus allowing them to hold the title of princess by marriage.

A Grand Duchess may be addressed as Her Grand Ducal Highness (HGDH). The title \\"Grand Duchess\\" is also used to refer to the wives of reigning Grand Dukes, such as Grand Duchess Maria Theresa of Luxembourg (the wife of Grand Duke Henri of Luxembourg).

In a more historical context, the title of grand duchess was used to describe female rulers of grand duchies in Europe. Historically, grand duchies were granted to members of the royal family by their monarch, and the title of grand duchess was used to describe the ruler of the grand duchy.

The title of grand duchess has also been used in a ceremonial capacity, with some religious ceremonies in Europe giving the title of grand duchess to certain members of religious orders.

Overall, the title of grand duchess is used to indicate a high level of respect and status. It is generally used to describe female members of royal families, female rulers of grand duchies, and certain religious figures.
