yes?

well if we see in this (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luxembourg). The title grand duke doesn't belitte the position and power as independent sovereign country. Moreover, I don't think grand duke position is under Kings or Emperors per se. I guess it is more of the rank based on the landmass they possessed rather than their strenght. Because if it is really the case, it would contradict the political power that Luxembourg has now.

So I think, it must be as simple as if it is a kingdom then the leader called king, if it is an empire then emperor, therefore grand duchy then grand duke.
