King, Prince, Duke, Marquess, Earl, Viscount, Baron. In Britain it is this: king/queen; duke, marquess, earl, viscount, baron. Princes/princesses don't actually have standing as peers but hold their rank through courtesy which is why sons of the sovereign are made dukes at some point (or earl in the case of poor Edward). Barons and Baronesses are called Lord and Lady because Baron is a French word. In France the equivalents are king; duc, marquis, comte, viscomte, baron. Sons of Ducs are also princes. In Germany they are: emperor, king, grand duke, sovereign prince, duke, prince, margrave, count, baron (freiherr in German). A sovereign prince runs his own country (principality, like Liechtenstein), a regular prince is a son of an emperor, king, grand duke, duke, or sovereign prince. In Spain and Italy its the same with a different language.

A grand duke is a higher rank than a duke, often ruling over a territory or principality, particularly in countries like Luxembourg or historically in parts of the Holy Roman Empire. An archduke is a title primarily associated with the Habsburg dynasty, indicating a rank above a duke but below a king or emperor, notably used for heirs to the Austro-Hungarian throne.
