From the queen-prince relationship, "Prince" is (as far as I can tell) a royal male who's not the king, more or less. So in the UK we have queen elizabeth and Prince phillip, who are married. He's not the king. So the demogorgon could be Zuggtmoy's husband?
I don't think it's meant in literal royalty terms. Not enough inbreeding.
Demons are not born, they're created. According to the classic D&D cosmology which spawned Demogorgon and Zuggtmoy, all fiends are the souls of mortals that choose Evil in life (Lawful for devils, Chaotic, for demons) and fell into Hell/the Abyss upon their deaths. They become cannon fodder-level fiends, but as fiends age and jockey for power, someone eventually wins and cements their position enough to, as Lath and Texas said, proclaim themselves Demon Lords and force other demons to accept it. No demon ever bears any bond of blood with another demon, unless your DM changes the rules of Hell/the Abyss specifically to allow it. "Family" is a foreign concept to these creatures, save as a means of targeting mortal fears.

You overstate the consistency of D&D cosmology. I'm not sure there's canonical examples of children where both parents are demons, but there's certainly Cambions.
To be fair, I tried to be freewheeling and light and got yelled at for it. So I gave the boring over-technical answer instead.
He wants Demogorgon to be Zuggtmoy's unholy demonspawn? He can go for it. Who're we to stop him? Me, I like the version where Demogorgon is his own grandpa. Because that's just how Hell/Abyss works.
PPS- I googled “D&D Demons” and this was the first thing that popped up, it explains how demons are created and would have answered your question: https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Demon
As king and queen of pop, were Michael Jackson and Madonna married?
Zuggtmoy is demon queen of fungi, not queen of the abyss.
And Demogorgon is a different sort of fun guy.
...sorry, I'll show myself out.
Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.

Demogorgon's title is self proclaimed and other Demon Lords are not strong enough to contest it - there is no royalty in the Abyss ;-)
Demogorgon is not only the son of Zuggtmoy, but the father of Zuggtmoy.
Yes.
That's right.
Demogorgon is his own grandpa.

Sigh.

You mean, when two dæmons love each other very much... the stork doesn’t bring them a manes?

Welcome to the internet BarbarianBro
If you want non-snarky answers I recommend you don't ask other humans on the internet and instead use google vs posting your questions to a forum.
So far from your most recent two posts you would really be better off researching yourself instead of hoping people will do it for you.
Or just expect the snark as part and parcel.
