The heir apparent to the Belgian throne is styled Duke of Brabant.
Under the November 20, 1917, Letters Patent of King George V, the titular dignity of Prince/Princess and the style Royal Highness are restricted to the sons of a Sovereign, the sons of a Sovereign's sons, and the eldest living son of the eldest son of a Prince of Wales.
For example, when the current Duke of Gloucester and Duke of Kent are succeeded by their eldest sons, the Earl of Ulster and the Earl of St. Andrews, respectively, those peerages (or rather, the 1928 and 1934 creations of them) will cease to be royal dukedoms, instead the title holders will become ordinary, 'garden' Dukes.

 Britannia Biographies: Henry Plantagenet of Grosmont, Duke of Lancaster
In this document the accusation of Duke Henry is declared to be false, and he is invited to prove it, corps-à-corps, in the castle of Guisnes, at St. Omer, or wherever else the King of France should think fit to appoint.
The second and only surviving daughter and heir of the Duke was, therefore, Blanche (aged 14 at the death of her father) who became the consort of Prince John of Gaunt, Earl of Richmond (afterwards Duke of Lancaster).
The Duke made his will in his castle at Leicester on 15th March 1361; and, dying of the pestilence on 24th of the same month, was interred in the Collegiate Church in Newark (Notts), on the north side of the high altar, in pursuance of the directions of his will.

 HHV Ferry: Duke of Lancaster
After a period in which it seemed very possible the crossing might be shut altogether, the 'Lancaster' and the 'Argyll' were returned to their builders to have car decks installed onto their main decks.
This conversion was rather more substantial than that carried out on the ships' sister as here the garage was to be accessed via a stern door and space for two coaches was made along the centreline at the stern in a small area with the required headroom.
The 'Lancaster' arrived at her new home on 10 August 1979 and has remained there ever since, beached (actually 'concreted in') off the River Dee and in an increasingly derelict state.
