Crown Prince
Throne's designated successor
Crown Prince is the male heir apparent to a throne—the person next in line to become king.
The title indicates confirmed succession rather than mere possibility: The Crown Prince assumed his father's duties during the king's illness.
Crown Princess is the female equivalent, or the wife of a Crown Prince.
