The idea of the Prince being a child when he was transformed, is due to the film's timeline being rather vague. For example, the stained-glass portraits in the prologue depict him as being in his late teens at least, while the narration says the magic rose would "bloom until his 21st year". However, the lyrics to "Be Our Guest" mention it having been ten years since anyone last visited the castle, leading some to assume the Prince was 11 when the Enchantress visited him. But that would mean he'd been cursed for over a decade, before Maurice and Belle arrived. Finally, his human appearance looks to be mid or even late 20s. So, there's two fair assumptions: either he was cursed as a child, or he was older and the broken curse restored his already-grown appearance.
