It sounds as Prince is suffering from a gastrointestinal condition, possibly an infection. it could be cat distemper which is a very severe disease in non vaccinated kittens. i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get, he will need to be checked first, if the vet thinks it's a simple gastrointestinal infection he will need an antibiotic course and a special food for a few days in order to get better.
