Maybe Legolas never talked to him in the movies because he didn't want to giggle. (startrek.website)

My serious interpretation is that "prince" here isn't being used literally to describe the son of a hereditary ruler. Elven lives are so long that they can't possibly have traditions associated with a king dying and his son becoming the new king. Therefore I think "prince" means an exceptional elf, not the king but someone worthy to rule.

(A counter-argument: the mail fits Frodo because it was made for a child. A child wouldn't be called a prince unless he literally was one. My reply: hobbits are short but stocky. Armor made for a slender adult elf could fit a hobbit, although it would be longer on him than it was on the elf - a chain hauberk rather than a chain shirt.)

Thorin: This mithril crop top was made for a noble Elven twink. Well suited for a Hobbit.

Such a cliché from Tolkien to put together a twink and a bear smh
