I agree with this poster; in my opinion, the Prince will most likely
be someone who lived long ago.  The magical world (in Britain, at
least) is  governed by the Ministry for/of Magic, but maybe it wasn't
always that way.  It's possible that there was once a Witch queen or
Wizard king before there were ministries.  "Prince" could refer to
actual royalty, if we're talking about someone who's long dead.  

Do we know Godric Gryffindor wasn't at least partly of royal blood? 
In any case, I do hope book 6 reveals something about wizarding history.
