Facts

A prince is a male ruler or member of a monarch's or former monarch's family.  Prince is also a title of nobility, often hereditary, in some European states.  The feminine equivalent is a princess.  The English word derives, via the French word prince, from the Latin noun princeps, from primus (first) + capio (to seize), meaning "the chief, most distinguished, ruler, prince".
