English Prince (1971–1983) was an Irish-bred, British-trained Thoroughbred racehorse and sire. In a racing career which lasted four months in the spring and summer of 1974 he ran six times and won four races. After being beaten on his racecourse debut he won the White Rose Stakes, Predominate Stakes and King Edward VII Stakes in England before recording his most important success in the Irish Derby. He suffered from a series of training problems thereafter, was beaten by Bustino in his only subsequent race and was retired from racing at the end of the year. He sired the dual classic winner Sun Princess before being exported to Japan where he died in 1983.
English Prince was a "big, well-made, attractive"bay horse with a narrow white blaze and a white sock on his left hind leg bred by his owner, Vera Hue-Williams (formerly Vera Lilley) at her Irish stud in County Kildare which she ran in partnership with her second husband Roger Hue-Williams. She had previously owned many top-class racehorses including Supreme Court when married to Tom Lilley. In the same year, the Hue-Williams stud bred a colt by Sir Ivor who was named Imperial Prince and raced in Roger's ownership. English Prince was from the second crop of foals sired by Petingo, the leading English two-year-old of 1967 when he was rated the best horse in Europe by the independent Timeform organisation. Petingo's later progeny included the 1978 Oaks winner Fair Salinia and 1979 Derby winner Troy. English Prince's dam English Miss was a useful stayer (rated 99 by Timeform) who won over a mile as a two-year-old and ran in the Cesarewitch at three. English Miss's grand-dam Perfume was a half-sister to Ambiorix and the dam of the 2000 Guineas winner My Babu and the Prix Jacques le Marois winner Sayani.
