Another question is if Nick is not the prince then who is he?

The fairy tale does not start when Briar Rose pricks her finger. That's the climax. The story opens with a King and Queen who lived in a realm where there were fairies and they wanted a baby.

The opening of Pilot episode shows the jogger Sylvie Oster takes a turn down the "Sweet Briar Trail". Nick has decided to get married. Since he has been living with Juliette for 3 years what would be different about getting married? It means he is ready to start a family.

Nick then sees his first Wesen woge. He's living in a land of fairytales.

That makes Nick the King or Briar Rose's father. If you watch Nick develop all through season 1 you see that he is not acting like a modern boyfriend toward Juliette, who shares decisions and information. Instead he is like a medieval father treating his daughter like a child, keeping her in the dark about the bad things in the world.

Sleeping Beauty's father keeps all knowledge of the danger of spindles from his daughter by banning all spinning wheels from the castle. Nick keeps all knowledge of the danger of Wesen from Juliette by hiding the trailer from her.

A trailer has wheels. When Nick drives the trailer out of his drive way he is taking the "spinning wheels" of the trailer away from Juliette.
