In my opinion a style is something like "His/Her RoyalHighness", "His/
Her Excellency", "His/Her Honour", "The Most Honourable", "The Right
Honourble", etc.

But in English "style" is also used for courtesy titles: the eldest
son of the Duke of Norfolk is styled Earl of Arundel.

In German, the expression Durchlaucht is a Prädikat, which translates
as predicate. Therefore it seems reasonable to me to say that HSH and
HRH are predicates.

That is not a word ever used in English in that sense except by
foreigners, particularly German speakers. In English predicate is a
transitive verb meaning a state, fact, quality, etc as true of or
pertaining to something. More easily understood perhaps by the noun
predicament.
