Prince typically refers to the son of a king or emperor.
This was both a title held by the sons and brothers of the ruling Vorbarra Emperor of the planet Barrayar and later the interstellar Barrayaran Imperium, and one held by the genomic brothers of the haut Emperor of the Cetagandan Empire. Sons of the reigning Cetagandan Emperor seem to be known as 'Prince Candidates' presumably because they are all candidates to succeed their father.
