In a local derby arm wrestle that had almost everything - including a brawl right on halftime - Brisbane finally went on with the job at Skilled Park after blowing leads against both Manly and Melbourne in their opening four games of the season.
Prince was booed by the majority of the 22,749-strong crowd each time he lined up a kick for goal.
But the 33 year-old veteran, unwanted by the Titans, featured in three of Brisbane's six tries and booted four goals.
Brisbane trailed 12-10 at the break after a magical early try by Titans halfback Albert Kelly in the 14th minute.

Both sides entered the clash without key players, Brisbane losing skipper Sam Thaiday at the judiciary on Wednesday night and Gold Coast five-eighth Aidan Sezer pulling out late with a hamstring injury.
Gold Coast, looking to post their fourth straight win for the first time since 2010, moved Greg Bird to five-eighth, promoting big Dave Taylor into the back-row and also calling up former Bronco Steve Michaels onto the bench.
The battle was a lot closer than the scoreboard suggested although Brisbane fully deserved their victory, keeping the Titans off the scoreboard for the second half.
Brisbane started underdogs despite having beaten the Titans in six of their previous seven clashes but they were more desperate, having dropped three of their first four games of the season.
The Titans lost Kelly late in the game after he appeared to injure his right leg trying to stop Brisbane hooker Andrew McCullough from scoring.
McCullough showed great strength to get the ball down despite the efforts of Kelly and 110kg-plus giants Taylor and Jamal Idris.
Brisbane interchange forward Nick Slyney, included after Thaiday's suspension, scored only his second NRL try in the final minute of the win.
Titans co-captain Nate Myles said the loss was "not the end of the world" but admitted his team's defence was against unacceptable.
"It was a tough loss but there are a lot of good teams in the comp and have to be better than that," he said.
Bird was placed on report for the incident with Maranta just before halftime but Gold Coast coach John Cartwright said he wasn't worried about him missing any time.
"I was told there wasn't too much in it. I was surprised they (Brisbane) got the penalty to be honest."
Cartwright said Kelly's medial ligament strain was not too bad although he could miss one to two weeks.
Ben Ridge suffered a pec injury while the Titans lost Brad Takairangi early to a hamstring issue.
Brisbane's only injury concern was also a medial strain to forward Dunamis Lui.
