Is the following sentence used a formal context?

Context:
(After the king and his guest have established to meet each other the next day evening, the guest says: )

Then, see you tomorrow evening, your Highness! ( Is there a more formal way to say the previous sentence)

thank you in advance

Thank you in advance.

The omission of the personal pronoun "I" makes it informal. More formal would be 'Then I shall see you tomorrow evening, your Highness!'

Remember to start every sentence with a capital letter and to end every sentence with the relevant punctuation mark.

I would have thought any statement involving the words "Your Highness" would probably take place in a pretty formal setting!
 
Except on the most formal of occasions, Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God, of Great Britain, Northern Ireland and the British Dominions beyond the Seas Queen, Defender of the Faith, is addressed as ma'am (to rhyme with jam). On very formal occasions, she is Your Majesty, not Your Highness.

True, but who was talking about old Lizzie W? ;-)

Maybe the use of 'king' is loose. For example, Elizabeth II's husband would corrrectly be addressed as 'Your [Royal] Highness'. He's just not a king.

I shouldn't hold your breath about the likelihood of you featuring in the Birthday Honours List...
