Napoleon I was Emperor of France and King of Italy - but the title he used was - I think - imperial and royal majesty.

Franz Joseph I of Austria used as his title imperial and royal apostolic majesty - and so did his wife the Empress Elizabeth.

Perhaps the English tendency to a response of 'ho ho with knobs on' to any overly florid, big hat with feathers in type of title is the reason for the simpler his or her majesty of the British monarchy.
