Prince of Newcastle

Prince of Newcastle is a title traditionally given to the heir apparent to the ruling monarch of the Kingdom of Aqoris.
The title was created by Barden I Boyce after he united Aqoris into one kingdom. The King of Aqoris would rule from the Winter Keep in the city of Newcastle and was in charge of the city but Barden created the honorific title of Prince of Newcastle to indicated that the crown Prince was going to be in charge and he intended for future heir apparents to have some involvement in the running of the city as a way to prepare for ruling.
In practice, if the heir apparent had not yet reached the age of legal majority, the King would simply assume the honorific duties - but the under-aged heir would still be the Prince of Newcastle. If a king left behind multiple sons when he died, and the eldest had no children when he succeeded his father as king, the next oldest son would become Prince of Newcastle, as his brother's legal heir. He would yield the title as soon as his older brother produced an heir.
Technically, the title would become Princess of Newcastle in the case of a female heir but in the four centuries of Boyce rule, this has never happened.
