Prince

Prince or princess are titles held by the members of a ruling family, usually the royal family. The title is usually held by all the children of a monarch. The heir apparent to the throne, typically the oldest child of the monarch, or oldest male child in male-preference primogeniture, is sometimes referred to as the crown prince or crown princess or another substantive title such as Prince of Newcastle.
If a monarch is newly crowned, be it through conquest, usurpation, or declaring independence, his or her children will typically become princes or princesses, but it varies if his or her siblings become princes and princesses. For example, when Barden I Boyce was crowned after he founded the Kingdom of The North, his brother Marlon Boyce was not given a princely title or the title of Prince of Newcastle despite being the heir as he was already Lord of Winter's Rock. Instead he was given a position on the High Council, the Adviser to the King.
The title of prince or princess is sometimes used by monarchs ruling over a principality, such as the Prince of Kiamba.

During the rule of House Boyce, most members of the royal family held the title of prince or princess, except for members of branches that were not expected to inherit the throne. Prince Braedan Boyce (King Warren's late uncle) and his son Prince Ashtin Boyce are both given the title of Prince as Ashtin is third in line to the throne at the start of A Shattered Realm because of the few members of House Boyce alive. In contrast, Princess Reina (King Warren's aunt) married Lord Asten Knigh and therefore their son, Lord Lewin Knigh, is not referred to as Prince as he would never inherit the throne but she retains the title of Princess as she is the daughter of King Kaegan III Boyce. 
The heir to the Northern Throne holds the title of Prince of Newcastle, and de-facto ruled the city of Newcastle.

In the Free City of Kiamba, the nominal ruler is a Prince, a ruler chosen by the elites of the city.
