In theFire Emblem series, there are two somewhat different classes called "Prince" in English versions, official or otherwise, but with different Japanese names. Both are the personal classes of young, sword-wielding heirs of a kingdom.

The first version of thePrince (Japanese:プリンスPrince) is the personal class ofLeif, prince ofLeonster, inFire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War andFire Emblem: Thracia 776. InGenealogy of the Holy War, the Prince is Leif's base class, promoting to the powerfulMaster Knight; however, inThracia 776, the Prince is Leif's promoted class, promoting from theLord. In these games, the class is a balanced class defined by its high potential. Despite being a promoted class inThracia 776, it is considered a base class rather than an advanced class, resulting in Leif getting much more experience than he would receive otherwise.

The second version (Japanese:ベルン王国王子Prince of the Kingdom ofBern) is the personal class ofZephiel of Bern inFire Emblem: The Blazing Blade. It appears only inChapter 26E/28H, where the goal is to defend Zephiel. In this game, the Prince class is quite weak, on par with the average unpromoted class, contrasting somewhat with the game's constant claims that Zephiel is a gifted warrior even in his youth; this is somewhat compensated by Zephiel's possession of aSilver Sword and the ability to use it automatically. This version of the Prince also appears, unused and devoid of an actual name, in the data ofThe Sacred Stones.
