The prince has a round and shallow bowl, a thin and short shank, and a long and slightly bent stem. It is also called a Prince of Wales or a Prince Regent, and it is believed that it was invented for Edward VIII, Prince of Wales around 1920. The Prince pipe shape is a variation of the Apple shape, but with a more elongated and flattened silhouette. The Prince pipe shape is often favoured by smokers who like to hold the pipe in their teeth, as it is light and elegant.
