Since George V changed a law in 1917, only children and grandchildren of a monarch are permitted to use the title and style of Royal Highness, Prince/ss of Great Britain and Northern Ireland/Prince of insert father's title here. Since Nicholas isn't the grandson of a monarch, only the great-grandson, he doesn't have that title, only the title of the son of a duke. If George V hadn't changed the law, he would be His Highness Prince Nicholas of Kent, since before the change, great-grandchildren were given the style of Highness, Prince/ss of insert father's title here. That would be how Paola would be known as Princess Paola of Kent, but since the law was changed, that isn't the case.
