In an Empire the normal style would be "His or Her Imperial Majesty". This would include Napoléon.
The only part of the former British Empire to which a Monarch was ascribed as being an Emperor or Empress of was India between Queen Victoria being awarded the title by Disraeli in 1876 and the granting of Independence under George VI in1947/48.
The use of "Imperial Majesty" would this have been limited to India though it was probably rarely or never used. They could sign letters etc with "R.I" (Rex/Regina Imperator/Imperatrix) and coins in Britain and the Empire carried the words "Ind Imp" (a Latin abbreviation ).
Although there were ships that bore such names as Empress of Ireland, Empress of Canada etc., these titles were never a reality.
