Prince Charming (Shrek)

Prince Charming is a character in the Shrek franchise of films, appearing in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third. He is voiced by Rupert Everett. He gains only brief mention in Shrek, in which Princess Fiona reveals that she thought she would be rescued by "Prince Charming", while he has a much larger role in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third.

Shrek 2
In his first scene in Shrek 2, he travels to the castle where Fiona had been imprisoned prior to the first movie, only to discover that Shrek has already found her and married her, and that the Big Bad Wolf (without any explanation to how the wolf got there in the first place) has taken to sleeping in her tower. His narration in this scene, as well as his conversation with the Wolf, reveal the most important aspects of the plot from the first film.

It is later revealed that Charming is in fact the son of the Fairy Godmother, and that the two of them want him to marry Fiona so that he can become king (similar to Lord Farquaad's intentions from the first movie). As such, in contrast to his fairytale namesake, this version of Prince Charming plays a more villainous role. He is characterised as something of a selfish mother's boy, and she his doting parent, as well as vain about his appearance. Later in the movie, he deceives Fiona into believing that he is Shrek, having been turned human by a "Happily Ever After" potion. Nevertheless, his foul attitude shines through the disguise and Fiona realises the truth before the end of the movie. At the end, he is forced into tackled by the ugly bartender who runs The Poisoned Apple.

Shrek the Third
Shrek the Third finds Charming, as the new main antagonist, stuck in the theatre, rather a stage in a bar, playing himself. Despite being the hero of his own play, the audience cheers when the Shrek character comes on stage. Charming leaves the theatre upset, and vows to his recently deceased mother that he'll become the King of Far, Far Away. He organizes an army of classic film villains, all upset that they've not gotten their 'happily ever after.' While Shrek, Donkey and Puss in Boots are in search of the heir to the Kingdom, Fiona holds off a coup d’etat by Prince Charming. Upon Shrek's return he is captured by the Prince. He places Shrek in the play, now being performed in an auditorium before the entire kingdom. Shrek begins to ruin it by making a fool of Charming. As he is about to kill Shrek on stage, Fiona and the others burst in. Before a confrontation ensues, Artie, the new heir, convinces the villains to give up their evil ways. Charming refuses and attacks Shrek, but misses. Shrek throws him before Dragon, who tips over a prop tower. Charming is trapped within the falling tower's window, defeated. It's unknown if he's dead or alive, but it is most likely that he is crushed underneath. Though that may not be the case, as apparently, the window was facing him when the tower fell (and actually, the exact thing happened at the beginning of the film, except, the tower was fake there). IS THE DIDES LOSER ON EARTH!!!!!!!!!.
