He was born on July 3, 1840 in Flushing, Long Island, United States, the home of his family for five generations. The son of William Robert Prince and Charlotte Goodwin (Collins) Prince, he traced his descent, through his mother, from Governor Bradford of Plymouth Colony. His father, grandfather, and great-grandfather had been leading citizens of the community .
At the close of the Civil War he studied law at Columbia, receiving the degree of LL. B. in 1866.
At eighteen he began his public career, founding the Flushing Library. At thirty he organized the Flushing St. George Brotherhood, at forty-six he instituted the Flushing Civic Association. As a youth he worked in the nurseries run by his father and brother. In 1867 he published E Pluribus Unum: The Articles of Confederation vs. the Constitution (1867), which by its conservative tone gave him some prestige among Republican leaders, and for twelve years thereafter he was regularly elected delegate to the party's state conventions.
He was also a delegate to the Republican National Convention which nominated Grant to the presidency in 1868. From 1871 to 1875 he served in the New York Assembly and in 1876-77 sat in the state Senate. As chairman of the judiciary committee of the Assembly he took a leading part in the impeachment of two judges.
In the Republican National Convention of 1876, he was among those who broke with Roscoe Conkling, and as a result was offered by President Hayes the governorship of the territory of Idaho. This he declined, but in 1879 he accepted the chief justiceship of the territory of New Mexico. Thrust into a Spanish-speaking frontier commonwealth, compelled to cover by primitive conveyance a circuit as large as the state of New York, he adjusted himself readily to unaccustomed hardships. He published The General Laws of New Mexico; Including All the Unrepealed General Laws from the Promulgation of the "Kearney Code" (1880).
In 1882 Prince resigned from the bench and two years later was the unsuccessful Republican candidate for delegate to Congress. In the five years that followed he devoted himself to the practice of law, historical research, civic development, church government, public speaking, writing for the press, fruit raising, mining, and financial operations. He directed the Tertio-Millennial pageant at Santa Fé in 1883 and the same year was elected president of the New Mexico Historical Society, in which office he continued until his death.
In the spring of 1889, President Harrison appointed Prince governor of New Mexico, in which capacity he served until 1893. Soon after his inauguration, he initiated a call for a constitutional convention which formulated a fundamental law, but the people of New Mexico failed to ratify the constitution when submitted to them.
He presided repeatedly over the Trans-Mississippi Congress, the International Mining Congress, the National Irrigation Congress, and the American Apple Congress. He represented New Mexico at the Chicago, the Omaha, and the St. Louis expositions. He was president of the New Mexico Horticultural Society and the Society for the Preservation of Spanish Antiquities. In 1909 he was elected to the territorial council. He was an incessant agitator for statehood, and when it had been granted presided over the first Republican state convention and published New Mexico's Struggle for Statehood (1910), the authoritative volume on the subject.
For a number of years he was president of the board of regents of the New Mexico College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts and from 1909 to 1912 was president of the Spanish American Normal School.
He served as chancellor of his diocese and was president of the Association of Church Chancellors. He delivered the oration in the First Church, Plymouth, Massachussets, on November 20, 1920, in connection with the celebration of the Mayflower Tercentenary.
He died in Flushing, Long Island.
As a governor of New Mexico, Le Baron Bradford Prince adopted the first public-school code on the statute books and created the University of New Mexico and other state institutions. He founded the New Mexico Horticultural Society and the Society for the Preservation of Spanish Antiquities. His famous works include: E Pluribus Unum; or, American Nationality; A Nation, or a League; History of New Mexico and others.

He was active in the affairs of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in which he was a lay reader.
Politically his administration was stormy, although socially it was brilliant. His advocacy of bimetallism for a time split the Republican party in New Mexico, and brought him temporary political eclipse.
He held membership in the New Mexico Archaeological Society.
On November 17, 1881 he married Mary C. Beardsley of Oswego. They had one son.
