Because there are some disturbing issues to consider; first, we have no background on him whatsoever; actually, even his status as a "card-carrying" prince can be argued. Second; Snow is young... really young, while his age is undetermined. Third, when he meets her and "falls madly in love", he has no idea she is a bona fide princess; as far as he knows, it's a servant girl, in peasant clothes, drawing water from the well.

They also don't want to do much that might be decanonized when the inevitable sequel is made elaborating his background.
