Prince returned to Queensland for NRL season 2007 to play for the newly-established Gold Coast Titans, becoming the only player ever to play for all three Queensland NRL teams: Brisbane Broncos, North Queensland Cowboys and Gold Coast Titans (Although Dale Shearer also played for the Brisbane, North Queensland and Gold Coast first grade clubs during his career).

Prince was named co-captain of the inaugural team with Luke Bailey.

Prince was a star for the Gold Coast before his injury which kept him out for several weeks. Prince made a return for the Titans and they finished 12th on the ladder; one win away from the Top 8.
