The short answer: Damien and Biannca of The Prince Family said in a December 13, 2022 video that YouTube had deleted their channel. The creators are the only source for that claim. Later third-party listings show uploads under the handle @theofficialprincefamily as recently as September 2026, but nothing public we could point to confirms YouTube’s exact reason for the deletion, or whether the active channel is the original account restored or a new one.
The dated record
Only a few points in this story can be tied to a date and a source. The table below separates what each source shows from what it does not.
| Date | What was published | What it establishes | What it does not establish |
|---|---|---|---|
| December 13, 2022 | Video titled “This Is The Reason Why YOUTUBE Deleted Our Channel!” on The Prince Family channel | The creators said YouTube deleted their channel | YouTube’s policy basis or any enforcement notice |
| April 9, 2023 | Video titled “What Happened To The Prince Family?” on The Prince Family channel | The creators addressed the situation again more than four months later | What the video says. Only the title and listing are confirmed here, so its explanation should not be paraphrased |
| September 2026 | Uploads under @theofficialprincefamily reported by third-party analytics (SPEAKRJ listing) | The channel identity is active on YouTube at that point | Whether it is the original channel restored after deletion, or a replacement. Analytics sites are not official YouTube records |
What the creators said, and how much weight it carries
The 2022 video title is the clearest primary-source evidence that the creators publicly stated YouTube deleted their channel. It is a claim by the people who ran the channel, not an independently confirmed YouTube enforcement finding. Titles are also not transcripts. The phrase “YOUTUBE Deleted Our Channel” tells readers what the creators chose to announce; it does not tell them what YouTube wrote, and no full spoken sentence from the video has been verified for this article.
The creators’ Linktree page, which labels the account THE PRINCE FAMILY and links to their YouTube and family social accounts, is useful for confirming that the people behind the channel are the same ones behind the handle. It says nothing about why YouTube acted.

What is still unknown
- YouTube’s reason for the deletion. No published YouTube statement, enforcement notice, or policy citation has been located for this channel. Any explanation beyond the creators’ own claim would be speculation.
- Whether the 2026 channel is the restored original. A channel can return under the same handle or branding without restoration, and analytics pages cannot tell the two apart.
- Appeal history. Whether the creators appealed, and with what result, is not documented in the sources reviewed.
- The content of the April 2023 video. Its title is documented; its explanation is not.
Claims to avoid
Several common readings of this story go beyond the evidence. Do not describe the channel as permanently shut down, since later uploads under the same identity contradict that. Do not say it violated a policy, was hacked, was restored, or won an appeal unless a primary source documents it. Speculation about the family’s personal circumstances is not supported by anything in the record.
How to verify the current status yourself
- Open YouTube and search for @theofficialprincefamily. Confirm that the channel page loads and that its name matches THE PRINCE FAMILY.
- Open the Videos tab and sort by date. Check whether uploads continue after 2023 and whether the upload dates match the 2026 activity reported by analytics.
- Search the channel’s uploads for the titles cited here. The December 13, 2022 and April 9, 2023 videos should appear in the listing if they remain public.
- Compare the channel’s About section and linked social accounts against the creators’ Linktree page to confirm they belong to the same people.
- Check Social Blade’s public channel page for subscriber and video counts. These figures change constantly, so treat any number you read as a snapshot from the day you check it, and cite Social Blade as the source rather than YouTube.
How to describe the story accurately
If you need a single sentence for an article or post, use this: The Prince Family said YouTube deleted their channel in a December 2022 video. Later listings show activity under @theofficialprincefamily, but the exact reason for the deletion and whether the same channel was restored have not been verified.

- Stylized collectable stands 3 ¾ inches tall, perfect for any Prince fan!
- Collect and display all Prince figures from Funko!
- Funko Pop! Is the 2017 toy of the year and people's choice award winner
That wording keeps the creators’ claim attributed to them, separates it from what is independently documented, and leaves room to update the account if a primary source later confirms more.
