Just to throw a spanner in the works, play devils advocate etc.., what
if you're defining prince too literally.

There is another meaning:

from the Merriam-webster:

Prince: one likened to a prince; especially : a man of high rank or of
high standing in his class or profession
- prince•ship /'prin(t)s-"ship/ noun

And from the Cambridge:

LITERARY prince among/of sth a man who is excellent at something:
that prince of flautists, William Bennett


So could the hb prince not actually be royalty?

I know, this doesn't help does it? 8-D
