Imperial Grand Prince of the Crown (Istalia)

Imperial Grand Prince of the Crown (Istalian: Gran Principe Imperiale della Corona) is a title created after the proclamation of the Istalian Empire, in 4571, to formally designate the official heir to the Istalian imperial throne.

Overview
According to article 13 of the Imperial Constitution of 4571, the title should be used to designate to the official heir to the imperial throne and it is not neither a personal honour or dignity which it is not authomatically granted nor to a heir apparent or presuntive.

The title is also not heritable, merging with the Crown on accession to the throne and then granted by the reigning Emperor or Empress to the Imperial Prince or Princess specifically designated to succeed him.

However, according to the article 10 of the Imperial Constitution, the failure to be granted the title does not affect the rights to royal succession being stated that the Imperial dignity is hereditary in the direct, natural and legitimate descent of Emperor, by order of primogeniture unless different decision of the reigning Emperor himself.
