Prince Charming is a stock character who originates in a number of fairy tales. He is the prince who comes to the rescue of the damsel in distress, and typically must engage in a quest to liberate her from an evil spell. The name has been given to the heroes of a number of traditional folk tales, including Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella.
Prince Charming is typically a well groomed adolescent. He frequently wears a sash or ribbon around his princely uniform, and often sports a small, waxed moustache. In many depictions he speaks with a French or British accent.
The Walt Disney animated version of Cinderella that appeared in 1950 is the source of the name in English; in the Charles Perrault version of Cinderella, and in most pre-Disney versions, the prince is not specifically identified as Prince Charming; nor is the character of the Prince named Prince Charming — or for that matter anything else — in the earlier Disney animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Since that film appeared, the name has been bestowed upon the highly similar characters who appear in Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. In fact, the princely status of Prince Charming is more important to the plot of this latter tale, since it is his royal status that enables Prince Charming to break the curse that keeps Sleeping Beauty in her supernatural sleep. This hapless prince needs a kiss.
In another variant, Prince Charming is the victim of a curse that has transmogrified him into a frog or toad. In this version, Prince Charming must be kissed by a princess while in his amphibian form for the curse to be broken; only then can he be restored to his human form as a handsome prince.
The character of Prince Charming is deconstructed in the 2004 movie Shrek 2 (wherein he is a Bad Fiancé, he has a personality not unlike that of Gaston in Disney's Beauty and the Beast, although he is rather more metrosexual) and also in the comic Fables.
Prince Charming is the title of a 1981 album and song by Adam and the Ants. Prince Charming is also the title of a 1999 movie starring Andy Lau and Michelle Reis. Meet Prince Charming ist the title of a 1999 movie starring Tia Carrere and David Charvet. Prince Charming is a prominent character in the Fables comic book; in that version, he successively married Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, each marriage ending in divorce due to his compulsive womanizing. He himself comments: "I always truly love a woman when I first pursue her...I'm just no good at the happily-ever-after part." He parlays his charm into election as the mayor of Fabletown, the underground "Fable" community, and finds the job more difficult than he had anticipated.
