Is Tao Ruspoli a prince?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tao_Ruspoli
Tao Ruspoli (born 7 November 1975) is an Italian-American filmmaker,
photographer, and musician. Ruspoli is the second son of occasional
actor and aristocrat Prince Alessandro Ruspoli, 9th Prince of
Cerveteri and Austrian-American actress Debra Berger. He is the older
brother of Bartolomeo Ruspoli (born 6 October 1978 in Rome), second
husband of Aileen Getty. His wife is Olivia Wilde.


Certainly not a Prince or a Don, because he was born illegitimate. He
can style the family name. But if the church acknowledged him maybe he
can style Don. Not sure if his branch were granted Princes of the Holy
Roman Empire, that would be the only way to style prince for younger
siblings born legitimate. http://www.angelfire.com/realm/gotha/gotha/ruspoli.html
