PRINCE CHARMLESS
The Victim
Spotty and tow-haired, Prince Charmless was not your typical fairy tale prince. He inherited the throne upon the recent death of his father, the late King Ludwig. Anxious to provide an heir as soon as possible, he had arranged a succession of five nightly balls, where he hoped to find a bride. But his heart was captured at the very first ball by the beautiful Cinderella, and had he lived there is no doubt that she would have become his queen. Even though prime minister Dick Whittington was trying to persuade him that the Princess Snow White of Dwarfonia would be a much more politically advantageous match.
The prince could be petulant and jealous
of those more attractive than himself. He did not get on with his
stepmother,
Queen Honoria.
