There does not seem to be any evidence that the titles of Belgian royals apply to all descendants regardless of patrilineality and therefore they would seem to be "normal" princes more properly treated under the entry for "Prince". ← Previous edit		Revision as of 14:35, 28 March 2021 edit undo Austrophile (talk \| contribs) 112 edits m Corrected first paragraph to indicate that females were referred to as princesses, not princes.

Line 4: {{Ranks of Nobility}} A '''''prince du sang''''' ({{IPA-fr\|pʁɛ̃s dy sɑ̃}}, Prince of the Blood) is a person legitimately descended in [[dynasty#dynasts\|dynastic]] line from any of a [[realm]]'s [[hereditary monarchy\|hereditary monarchs]]. Historically, the term has been used to refer to men ~~and women~~ descended in the [[patrilineality\|male line]] from a sovereign, the female equivalent of ''princess of the blood'' being applied to the daughter of a prince of the blood. The most prominent examples include members of the French royal line, but the term has been used in other families more generally, for example among the British royal family and when referring to the [[Shinnōke]]. In some European kingdoms, especially France, this appellation was a specific rank in its own right, of a more restricted use than other titles.
