In Germany we don' have this ,prince' problem The son of an emperor, king , great duke, duke, or ruling prince is a Prinz, but a ruling prince, today only in Liechtenstein and Monaco, is in german a ,Fürst'. This appeared in 17th century (perhaps late 16th century) as a real rank/title of noblemen, before this time it meant simply ,rich and mighty ruler'/monarch in the style of this video, and sometimes it is still used today with the old meaning.
