In May 2017, Prince attracts the attention of newcomer Yasmine. In order to impress sixth former Peri, she lies and says she slept with Prince. Lily overhears and is furious. Prince is then involved in a car accident on his 16th birthday. Lily confronts Yasmine about her lie and when Yasmine’s heart begins to give out, Tom panics. Without a phone signal, Prince takes action and drives Yasmine, Tom, Lily, and Alfie back to the village. Speeding to save his friend, the car collides with Joel’s motorbike sending the teens into a log pile, Joel skidding across the road, and Cleo into the bushes.

He uses the opportunity to leave home with Shane, abandoning Goldie and Hunter. Now he's back together with Yasmine but he likes Lily though. Prince feels that he is so committed to Lily that he proposes. Before he gets an answer from Lily, he notices blood running down her arm and finds out she's still self-harming. Prince runs off. Peri then notices that Prince has been in a mood and attempts to cheer him up, ending with Peri and Prince sleeping together, which leads to Peri thinking she's pregnant, and when she goes to the doctors she realises she isn't but continues to lie to Prince so he stays her boyfriend and let's her live with him and so he won't go back with one of her ex pals, Lily.
