I have been thinking about this for a couple of hours and I decided to put angel wings on my Demon Prince and was going for maybe Pegasus wings? Does anyone have any better ideas for it

Pegasus wings worked well for mine. There are lots of wings to choose from in bitz packs, other model kits, reaper sculpts, etc. Enough that you should definitely be able to find the type you are looking for.

The wings from a Lord of Change might be big enough

depends on what look you are going for. i used the dark pegasus wings, from Morathi (dark elves), since they look a little more ominous than the normal brettonian pegasus wings, but they are metal, so heavy and need pinning. and they do not have quite the feather wing effect. if you are looking for that, you can look for the old Azrael demon prince model, they are a little larger and look sweet

I have made a bloodthirster using a Doombull and this of a lord of change... I like the result.
I guess you could do the same conversion for a Prince...

I'm with Jeff and Ed (lambo and Sgt) - check out the Bits Catalog at the store and look over what ones are available. Are you talking a 54mm daemon prince, the size of the current Chaos Space Marine DP? You'll want wings that are to scale and don't look too big (unless that's the look you're heading for...).
The Lord of Change model has the same wings as the Empire Griffon and they're pretty big compared to a 54mm scale daemon prince, the largest of the batch, almost out of scale.
The plastic Bretonnian Pegasus wings are in scale, and a bit more "angelic" loooking. They're a bit on the small side, though, for a 54mm model, but workable.
The Empire range also has the Supreme Patriarch on a Pegasus, but those wings are more folded back, like they're about to be spread for flight or folding for landing. They're also a bit small, but workable, too.
The Wood Elves have warhawks, which are in scale to a DP. About the right size.
The High Elves have great eagles, and the wings are just on the upper end of scale. Again, almost the right size.
And, if all else fails, there's the Azrael model still available from GW (Rob can get it at the store).
It all depends on the look you're going for. Realizing this IS a fantasy game, in real life bird wings are usually twice the length of their "arm," meaning the wing has three sections - shoulder to elbow, elbow to wrist, then wrist to "fingertips," with the wrist/fingers being equal length of the shoulder/wrist section.
