The thing is, there's a heck of a lot of infrastructure that goes into making one a prince. You've got to basically rewrite the family trees of hundreds (thousands? millions?) of people. Whether this sort of thing is very stable or very unstable once done I just don't know.
I've always wondered what he was the prince OF. I mean, in order to BE a prince, doesn't there at minimum need to exist a principality? I always thought it was funny to think that somewhere out there there was a whole nation that Aladdin had never heard of or seen which was all like "Oh, woe! What ever has happened to our beloved prince? Shall we never see him again?"
1) Depends on how you define prince, I guess. Aladdin got the entourage and the money and the clothes, but there's never any mention of what country or royal line he comes from.
2) It's never explicitly stated in the movie, and I haven't seen any of them besides the first one, but it seems that magic and wishes are somewhat equally powerful in that world. I mean, genies can be bound with those bracelets which I'm guessing were made by some kind of magic.
