I have been researching my family history through several genealogical websites and found out that many of my great-grandparents were Kings and Queens in different countries a long time ago (from the late 1500's-prior). The royal lineage of the family stopped sometime around 1593 or so.
I know that there were kings, queens, princes and princesses before that time, but I'm wondering about my grandparents who came after those famous historical grandparents did--would I say that they were princeses/princes too or does the title "princess" and "prince" only apply when someone is in rule? I'm not sure how to word them in my research.
For instance, one of my great-grandfathers was King James IV from Scotland. Would his daughter or son then be called a princess or prince? What about his grandchildren or great grandchildren? What do I call them?
I ask, because there is a special mention of one of his granddaughters--the site specifically says, "The great-grandaughter of James
