*deep sigh*
"Fair", in modern English, can mean a) pale, light in colour (e.g. 'fair-haired', 'fair-skinned'), or b) honest, decent, equal (e.g. 'fair treatment').

Guess which one came first? That's right! THE SECOND OF THOSE.
The 'fair prince' might just be widely admired for his good judgement and lack of bias! You don't have to assume the racist interpretation for everything!

It actually didn't, though neither sense is really applicable here. The original meaning of fair was "beautiful", which is what's used here; this dates back to the Old English fæger and comes from Proto-Germanic. The sense of "light-complexioned" is first attested around 1200 AD, but the sense of "just" or "impartial" isn't attested until around the mid-1300s.
