Malcolm's title is Prince of Cumberland. He is named Duncan's heir apparent. At the time, the eldest son was NOT automatically the next in line for the throne. Macbeth, as the most experienced and respected soldier, expects to be named, but Duncan passes him over for the feckless Malcolm.
Malcom is Duncan's son. Macbeth kills Duncan (king of Scotland), but not Malcom; Malcom flees to escape suspicion of his involvement in his father's murder. He later returns to Scotland, where, after Macduff kills Macbeth, he is crowned king. Hope this helps!
At the end of Shakespeare's play Macbeth; Malcolm, son of Duncan is proclaimed to be King of Scots. (In actual history, Macbeth was succeeded by his son Lulach; who was then was assassinated and deposed by Malcolm)

The Thane of Cawdor is hanged by King Duncan, and the title is given to Macbeth.
he gave the title to Macbeth because the Thane of Cawdor committed treason and was executed for it.
Malcolm will be the next king
Perhaps the title "King of Scotland" which they both held may give you a clue.
Macbeth gets the title because it was stripped away from the former Thane of Cawdor who had rebelled traitorously against King Duncan. This foreshadows that Macbeth will also betray King Duncan.
The the traitors at the start of the play are a rebellion of Highlanders and Islanders, led by Macdonwald and Sweno, the king of Norway who was assissted by the Thane of Cawdor. King Duncan orders the execution of the Thane of Cawdor and hands his title to Macbeth as a reward.
