A Prince Albert is a type of genital piercing that is inserted into the urethra and out through the glans corona, where urine comes out, to a piercing hole on the underside of the glans. It is one of the most common penis piercings. The piercing is usually worn with a ball closure or segment ring through the resulting hole, which is placed through the natural opening of the urethra. The name "Prince Albert" comes from the belief that Queen Victorias husband, Prince Albert, had this penile piercing, but there is no confirmatory evidence for this.

The piercing is worn primarily for aesthetic reasons as well as to increase sexual arousal. By stimulating the urethra and the frenulum, the wearer experiences an additional stimulus that can be pleasurable. The partner can also be additionally aroused by the piercing due to increased friction and pressure. However, this can also be perceived as painful, so caution is advised initially.

The piercing process involves puncturing the urethra, which can be a painful experience. After the jewelry has been inserted, the wearer may experience a dull, throbbing discomfort for a period of time, but they shouldnt have more than a moment of acute, sharp pain. It is important to avoid sexual contact for as long as possible, particularly during the first critical 4-6 weeks of the healing process, to avoid jostling the jewelry and causing minor tears or worse.
