Excellency
Excellency in Diplomatic Law
Excellency
An archaic but still much-used title for addressing an ambassador. Theoretically, an American ambassador is not supposed to be addressed this way, but he generally is – along with all his other ambassadorial colleagues. “Mr. Ambassador” is more accurate and less silly. That he is; he may or may not be “excellent.”
