The Prince of Youth (Latin: Princeps Iuventutis), or less frequently the Princess of Youth, is the main substantive title used by the heir apparent to the Latin throne. The Prince Alexius has been Prince of Youth since his birth on 12 December 2019.
The title originated in the 3rd century as an honorific title awarded to a presumptive emperor-designate, though was used sparingly. By the 7th century, the title was commonly affiliated with the eldest son of a reigning Emperor, following the practice of granting designated heirs unique titles, such as Destined to be Emperor (Imperator Destinatus). The title has two purposes: to serve as a title to name the heir apparent or heir presumptive, and as a specific title to determine place in the line of succession and role in government and earn incomes. The title has been held by women on X occasions, the first by Maria I Augusta from 979 until 1010; by Theodora I from 1240 until 1247; and most recently by Maria III from 1760 until 1763.
