This man looks like... ennui.

The world's first gay prince?

I don't believe that for a second.

Well, if that's what the guy wears to work, how does he dress when he wants to look fancy?

Yeah, I reckon he is at least five thousand years too late, just on the basis of statistics alone; There have been kings (and hence princes) for that long; and kings tend to have multiple sons. It would be pretty unlikely that there were no gay princes in the first generation or two - and that's without broadening the definition to include lesbian princesses.

Crown Prince? India is a republic. Crown prince would imply being a heir apparent to the throne.
And this guy is not even a member of a royal house of India but only to a small former kingdom that is now part of the state of Gujarat, so "prince of India" doesn't apply either. "Hereditary prince of Rajpipla" would.
I wish him luck in his private life though.
