In the Shakespearean play 'Macbeth', King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] had two children. Malcolm undoubtedly was the elder son. He was given the title of Prince of Cumberland, as heir apparent to his father. He in fact became the subsequent King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093].
In the historical record, Malcolm killed his two immediate predecessors. First, he killed Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057], who hadn't killed King Duncan. Instead, Duncan was killed by his own men for having launched an unprovoked, unpopular, unjustified, unjust invasion of Macbeth's ancestral lands. Then Malcolm killed Macbeth's stepson, King Lulach [d. March 27, 1058].
Donalbain was the younger son. In the play, he fled to Ireland after his father's death. He didn't make another appearance in the play. But in the historical record he did, as his brother's successor. In fact, Donalbain became King Donald III [d. 1099].
After the death of King Duncan, his sons, Donalbain and Malcolm, flee Scotland to go to Ireland and England respectively. Both sons pose a threat to Macbeth, and he immediately regrets not killing them when he killed their father.

Malcolm Canmore, later king of Scotland, was the son of King Duncan. Also Donald Ban was his son, and he also became king later on. Both of these appear in Shakespeare's play.
Macbeth [c. 1014-August 15, 1057] and his Lady [b. c. 1015] planned to blame the two royal guards for the untimely death of King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040] of Scotland. Lady Macbeth was supposed to serve the guards drugged drinks, to keep them from protecting their sovereign. Macbeth was supposed to kill the sleeping, unarmed King and then the passed out, defenseless guards. The bloodied murder weapons were supposed to be left at the crime scene with the bloodied corpses. The crime scene was supposed to tell a tale of a king killed by his drunken guards and avenged by his outraged host. And that was what happened and how the royal guest chamber was made to look, in Act 2 Scene 2 of the Shakespearean play.
