The answer is no. First of all they are Princes of the United Kingdom - not England. In fact Charles the heir to the throne is Prince of Wales.

No Royal can be Prime Minister or a member of Parliament. It is called the House of Commons - or commoners (non-royal).

No, the UK prime minister is the leader of the political party that is given the most votes in the general elections. Currently it is David Cameron. He is chosen by his political party members and politicians.

The House of lords is an unelected body of politically appointed peers.

There has never been a Prime Minister of England; England is a part of, but not the same as, The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The office of Prime Minister was instituted after The Act of Union which created The United Kingdom.

The Prime Minister of the United kingdom is usually the leader of the political party which has a majority of seats in the House of Commons.

There is nothing to prevent a royal prince from being the leader of a political party so it could happen, but it's extremely unlikely.
