For princes and princesses of ranks not listed here, treat the prince or princess as being one rank below his or her parents.  ie. A baronial prince — the son of a baron — would be equivalent in rank to a baronet.  Although the baronial prince in this example may have more political clout through his father, this is no assurance that the prince will trump the baronet in all matters; a wise baron would lend the baronet an equal ear in any such judgement, lest he earn the disgruntlement of his immediate subordinate and whichever problems that may cause.

Equivalent titles may be specific to the region, nationality or lineage of any particular ruler.  These titles may not presently be represented by characters in the campaign but remain possible and available for future coronations, whether through promotion appointed by a liege, establishment of a new dominion, inheritance through the abdication or death of a parent, conquest from without or usurpation from within.  ie. If Junkerin Skaldara Korbold (a minor noblewoman of Houses Falk and Korbold of Hrothjurgan Minor) were to somehow usurp the Faceless and Eternal Emperor and claim his throne, then she would become Keiserinne Skaldara Korbold.

Such promotions through the ranks may result in adverse reactions from other rulers — depending on the Attitudes of the rulers involved — and is, of course, assurance of neither the restraint and good graces of superior rulers nor the respect and obedience of lesser rulers.
