Usage notes
The words князь(knjazʹ) and принц(princ) both translate to “prince”, but have distinct usages in Russian:
принц(princ) in most cases refers to a son or other male family member of a king or non-Russian emperor; the word is strongly associated with a Western European, non-Russian context.
князь(knjazʹ) refers to the ruler of a principality or the holder of a princely title.
Russian usually uses the term царь(carʹ, “tsar”) for ancient and non-European monarchs who in English would be called kings; the son of such a monarch would be a царе́вич(carévič, “tsarevich”), not принц(princ).
