It's funny, because everyone seems to assume 'The Cruel Prince' is the book being talked about when royal princes and first loves come up, but that's not a perfect fit. That series is more about faerie politics and survival than a straightforward royal romance. If we're talking about a pure 'royal prince's first love' narrative, I genuinely think the book in question might be something like 'Red, White & Royal Blue'. Alex and Henry's story is, in a way, about a prince's first real, all-consuming love, even if Henry's the spare and not the heir. Their relationship ends up being public, messy, and ultimately triumphant, changing the political landscape. It's a happy ending, but it's hard-won.
If the question is about a more traditional fantasy prince, maybe it's referencing 'The Selection' series? Prince Maxon's first love is America, but the path there is so convoluted with other contestants and his own duties. The series ends with them together, ruling a changed kingdom, but it feels like his 'first love' arc was stretched over multiple books of doubt and competition. His initial naivete gets completely shattered. Honestly, the 'first love' trope for princes rarely ends simply. The duty versus heart conflict is the whole point. The prince either gives up the throne for love, which is its own kind of ending, or he integrates love into his rule, which is another. The 'end' is usually a new beginning with that person beside him, but the cost is always shown.

Okay, I'll have to admit, I don't think I've ever actually come across a published novel with the exact title 'First Love of Royal Prince'. That phrase is screaming Wattpad or some webnovel platform to me, you know? It sounds like one of those classic billionaire/royalty romance premises you see everywhere online. You could probably find a dozen stories with that exact tagline.
If we're talking the general plot template, though, it's almost always the same: a commoner girl (maybe a scholarship student, a journalist, or just a normal employee) somehow catches the eye of the crown prince of some fictional European-esque kingdom. There's a ton of palace intrigue, stuffy traditions, and a mean queen mother or rival noblewoman trying to break them up. The 'first love' angle usually means he's never been in love before, or his previous relationships were arranged/political, so meeting the heroine completely turns his orderly world upside down. It's pure wish-fulfillment fantasy about being chosen for who you are, not your title or wealth. The conflict is always about whether love can overcome duty.
I remember scrolling through a bunch of these on an app once; they all blend together after a while. The ones that stand out usually have a twist, like the prince actually being undercover as a normal guy when they meet, or the girl having a secret identity of her own. But the core is always that fish-out-of-water romance with a side of palace drama. If you're looking for a specific book, you might need the author's name or the platform it's on. That title alone is way too generic to pin down.

Okay, so there’s a manhwa I ended up binging a while ago called 'First Love of the Royal Prince'. The title makes you think it’s going to be a straightforward shoujo fantasy romance, right? Like, commoner girl catches the eye of the crown prince. And on that level, it delivers—there’s a lot of sweet moments, the art is pretty, and the romance does develop. But honestly, if you’re a romance fan looking for something really substantial, I’m not sure this is the one.
The main couple is cute, but the story leans heavily on some pretty tired tropes. The female lead can sometimes fall into that ‘too pure for this world’ category, and a lot of the conflict comes from external forces like scheming nobles or misunderstandings that could be solved with one honest conversation. It feels a bit like the plot is just moving them from one romantic set-piece to another without letting their relationship breathe or face genuine internal challenges. I remember getting about halfway through and thinking the side characters, especially some of the prince’s guards or the rival ladies, were almost more interesting because they had clearer motivations.
That said, if you’re in the mood for something undemanding and visually pleasing with a guaranteed happy ending, it’s a decent enough read. It’s the literary equivalent of a sugary pastry—enjoyable in the moment but not very memorable. I’d say it’s worth a try if you’ve exhausted the top-tier titles in the genre and just want a quick, comforting hit of royal romance fluff. Just don’t go in expecting the next 'Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion' in terms of plot complexity.
