"the Kind" the "Great" are epithets, that is correct. Just to add something to this discussion:
Style refers to the address a particular member of the aristocracy should be attributed to. For example, the Queen gets a style of "Her Majesty" and other members of the Royal Family gets "His/Her Royal Highness".
Also, there are several ways to style a prince or a princess.For example, the Prince of Wales is styled as 'HRH The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales'. On the other hand, the Princess Royal is styled as HRH The Princess Anne, Princess Royal. As a son of the English Monarch, a royal prince gets to have THE prefixed on his name. Compare this with HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, and HRH Prince Henry of Wales. Obviously, as soon as their father, THE Prince Charles, assumes the throne, they will be styled, respectively as HRH THE Prince Charles, Duke of Cambridge, and HRH THE Prince Henry.
