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.

∙ 8y agoIn Act 1 the King names Malcolm the Prince of Cumberland, which is pointing him out as the heir to the throne. Duncan did not need to name Malcolm, as his successor could have been any of his near relations, including Macbeth. His choice of Malcolm shows his typical poor judgement when dealing with people.
