Depends who your mother, or father is. If your father is the King's brother then chances are, you are a Prince or a Royal Duke (in the UK.) Using the example of King George Vl, his nephews were Prince Edward and Prince Michael of Kent (sons of his brother George, Duke of Kent (a Royal Duke) - and Princes William and Richard of Gloucester (sons of his brother Henry, Duke of Gloucester.) However the sons of his sister Mary, The Princess Royal, were mere Viscounts & Honourables (and the eldest later an Earl) as her husband was the Earl of Harewood.
In the case of the nephew of the current British Monarch, he is a Viscount also as Princess Margaret (the late sister of Queen Elizabeth,) married a commoner who was ennobled, upon his marriage, to the Earldom of Snowdon.
So it all depends (certainly in the case of the children of the sister of a King), who the sister marries. With children of brothers, they would normally be Princes.

Do you mean to ask if "you" have a title? If you are a decendent through the male line then in all likelihood, you are a prince or princess. Such is the case with Princess Beatrice and Eugenie of England. Their uncle will be King Charles and they are related to him through their father whereas Princess Anne's children, Peter and Zara, are related to Charles through their mother and thus do not have titles. Charles's other brother, Edward, has one daughter who is technically a princess though her parents have asked that she is styled as an Earl's daughter as that is his title (the Earl of Wessex).

Any grandchild of the soverign through the male line is entitled to use Prince or Princess though a lot of royal families, in particular the Windsors, are trying to scale down the size of those titled family members.

You maybe a royal prince;it depends if it's your mother or father who is the blood relative to the king. If it's your father who's related,you'd be a royal prince. If it's your mother,you'd have a courtesy title that is an adjunct of your father's if he has one. Lord Linley and Lady Sarah Chatto are nephew and niece to Queen Elizabeth II; their mother was Princess Margaret and their father, Antony Armstrong-Jones was given a title as Lord Snowdon. His son, David,uses a lesser of his father's titles,Viscount Linley,while,the sister,Sarah, is a "Lady."

It depends on the rules of aristocracy in your respective country, as well as your parentage. For example, when Charles becomes King of the U.K., he was have several nieces and nephews (Andrew's and Edward's children) who are Princes and Princesses because they are male-line descendants; and two (Princess Anne's children) who have no titles, because they are descended from the female line.

Generally yes they are a prince. However they will often have a title of high nobility, such as a Dukedom. Examples of this were the Duke of Clarence, Duke of Cornwall, Duke of York, Duke of Lancaster, Duke of Warwick, Duke of Norfolk, Duke of Wessex, Duke of Kent and Duke of Northumberland. They in England often held military positions of power in border areas. For instance The Duke of Limerick, Duke of Cumberland.

you'd be a prince or duke depends on how close to the crown you are and what property you own but you'd probably never be king unless he didn't have any children or they all died or abdicated then your parents died or abdicated and then if you have any older siblings they have to be dead or abdicate the crown
