Your Royal Highnesses vs. Their Royal Highnesses

To refer to royal families, you use "Royal Highness."

But I'm not sure the use of 'possessive' in front of it :

Your Royal Highnesses, Lords and Ladies of the Court and our distinguished guest from the forests of the New World.

Their Royal Highnesses, the Duke and Duchess of Kent.

Can you tell me the difference between "Your" "Their"?
