Prince of Dorne or Princess of Dorne is a title held by the head of House Martell, who also holds the title of Lord (or Lady) of Sunspear. The title is equivalent to the title of "Lord Paramount" found in most of the other regions of Westeros. The independent rulers of Dorne had styled themselves princes instead of kings according to Rhoynish custom.
When Dorne finally joined with the rest of the Seven Kingdoms through a marriage alliance, the Iron Throne allowed the Martells to retain the title along with their laws. As with most Dornish titles, succession to the title is granted to the eldest surviving heir regardless of gender.
The offspring and siblings of the Prince of Dorne also hold the title of Prince or Princess.
