When in 1876, Leopold is addressed either as "Your Highness" or "Your Grace". However, the former is only used to address Dukes who are also members of the Royal family, in which case the latter is never used (and would be considered offensive). If Leopold is not a member of the Royal family, then he should only be addressed as "Your Grace" and using the style "Your Highness" would be incorrect and offensive to the Royal family. However, his dance partner, who is American, would not realize the offense and uses Your Highness. This explains the forced smile from Leopold and the stoic expression from Otis. Leopold's surname is "Mountbatten", suggesting that he is of the House of Mountbatten (formerly the House of Battenberg until World War I), which was a morganatic branch of royalty that was not capable of inheriting titles such as a dukedom.
