Remember that lelouch was disillusioned with royalty altogether, he sought to topple the entire monarchy since the first episode (and when given the chance he did exactly that). Narratively speaking he was Lamperouge from the word go; Vi Britannia was just as much a mask as Zero. Preferring the prince persona is no different than claiming you like Zero more than lelouch.
