There are four "historical" noble titles which are given to members of the Belgian Royal family, and which indicate their place in line for the throne. These titles refer to important historical entities which once existed on the current territory of Belgium
Duke of Brabant
This is the title for the first child of the reigning monarch who is eligible for the throne. This title has been held by Leopold II, Prince Leopold (son of Leopold II), Leopold III, Baudouin and now Prince Philippe.
Count of Flanders
This is the title given to the second child of the monarch who is in line for the throne. This title has been held by Prince Philippe, brother of Leopold II and Prince Charles, brother of Leopold III. Right now, nobody uses the title. I suppose it would belong to Princess Astrid.
Count of Hainaut
This is the title given to the first child of the Duke of Brabant who is in line for the throne. This title was carried by Leopold, the son of Leopold II, and Baudouin, son of Leopold III.
Now, this title would go to Princess Elisabeth.
Prince of Liège
This is the title given to the second child in of the Duke of Brabant who is in line for the throne. This title was formerly used by Albert II, and would now be given to Prince Gabriel.
