This page discusses the words prince or princess, which refers in various ways to a member of an elite or ruling class. Other uses of the word Prince include:
On the European continent, notably in the German system, a prince is something more than a mere noble, but not necessarily royal, which makes comparing it with the British system of royal princes difficult.
- The stage name of pop music singer Prince Rogers Nelson.
- The Prince -- a political treatise written by Niccolo Machiavelli in the 16th century.
- A project management method, PRINCE2
In the Russian system, "knyaz" (translated as "prince", e.g., Prince Potemkin) is the highest degree of nobility, and sometimes, represents a mediatization of an older native dynasty which became subject to the Russian imperial dynasty. Rurikid branches used the knyaz title also after they were succeeded by the Romanovs as the Russian imperial dynasty.
A prince or princess may be:
- The head of state in a monarchy which is too small to be called a kingdom. A present-day example is Prince Rainier III of the principality of Monaco. (I.e. a "Fürst" in German.)
- The child of a monarch (king or queen-regnant), and in the direct line of succession also other members of the Royal family, styled a "royal highness". The precise rules for the succession are fixed by law. (I.e. a "Prinz" in German.)
- The husband of a reigning queen is usually titled prince or prince consort.
- A member of the higher nobility in certain countries and periods. Foreign-language titles such as Italian principe, German Fürst, Russian kniaz, etc., are often rendered as prince in English. For example, one can talk about Prince Bismarck (Ger. Fürst B.).
- The term has also been used to describe the head of a feudal state; for example, it has been used as a synonym for duke at times.
- In a similar sense, those who held land and titles within the Catholic Church hierarchy were sometimes designated "princes of the Church".

Politics
Main article: Politics of São Tomé and PríncipeIn 1990, São Tomé became one of the first African countries to embrace democratic reform and changes to the constitution - the legalization of opposition political parties - led to elections in 1991 that were nonviolent, free, and transparent. Miguel Trovoada, a former prime minister who had been in exile since 1986, returned as an independent candidate and was elected president. Trovoada was re-elected in São Tomé's second multiparty presidential election in 1996. The Party of Democratic Convergence (PCD) toppled the MLSTP to take a majority of seats in the National Assembly, with the MLSTP becoming an important and vocal minority party.
Municipal elections followed in late 1992, in which the MLSTP came back to win a majority of seats on five of seven regional councils. In early legislative elections in October 1994, the MLSTP won a plurality of seats in the Assembly. It regained an outright majority of seats in the November 1998 elections. Presidential elections were held in July 2001. The candidate backed by the Independent Democratic Action Party, Fradique de Menezes, was elected in the first round and inaugurated on September 3. Parliamentary elections were held in March 2002.
On July 16, 2003, Maj. Fernando Pereira took over the government in a military coup. Prime Minister Maria das Neves and other ministers were detained by Pereira's forces. It is believed that the coup was, in part, a response to the administration's dealings with various oil corporations. After a week of negotiations Pereira's junta signed an accord with the former leaders and stepped down, and de Menezes and das Neves resumed power.
