History
specific to Bahrain during Sheikh Isa's rule
During Sheikh Isa's rule in Bahrain, his title was Amir Dawlat al-Bahrayn (Emir of the State of Bahrain), so when we talk about his son Hamad being ولي العهد is it correct to say "crown prince" or is that only used for the heir apparant to a king?

Kuwait's ruler is called "emir" in English, not "king," and yet his heir apparent is called "crown prince," as in the following piece:

I would consider this analogous enough for pre-royal Bahrain.
