Prince Charming, also known as David Nolan, is one of the main characters of Once Upon a Time. He is the husband of Snow White, father to Emma Swan and Neal Nolan, grandfather to Henry Mills and Hope Jones, great-grandfather to Lucy Mills and the father-in-law of Killian Jones. Prince Charming is based on the prince from the fairytale "Snow White", the Disney film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the fairytale "Rapunzel", as well as Tom Canty from the novel, The Prince and the Pauper. He is also an allusion to Flynn Rider from the Disney film Tangled.

David Nolan also takes the place of Hamlet from The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark.

He was portrayed by Josh Dallas, who also played Fandral in Thor.

Biography[]

Before First Curse[]

David was born in the Enchanted Forest to Ruth and Robert a family of shepherds and had a twin brother named James. During a harsh winter, both newborns become sick and the parents are too poor to afford medicine. A wizard named Rumplestiltskin offers a solution to their problem; a King is in need of a child and in exchange for one of their sons he will provide medicine for the boys. At first Ruth refuses but wanting both of their children to live, they sadly obliged to Rumple's deal.

After Robert was murdered by the pirate, Captain Hook, when he went off to find and bring James home to fix his family, David was left to believe that his father died a drunk in an accident for many years.

Trivia[]

  • In this version, Snow White's prince was given an archenemy or two, just like how the Evil Queen was Snow White's archenemy. They are King George and his twin brother, James.
  • Despite his daughter titled as the savior, Charming and his wife are the ones who lived up to that title at heart since before and after Emma was born, and after the First Curse was broken. Many characters go seek out his or his wife's help as an option. Even villains seek out their assistance, with some threats. Rumplestiltskin seeks Charming's help a couple of times in situations with Belle; Maleficent seeking his and his wife's help to bring her daughter (who was leaving her and Storybooke) back to her after Emma's failure; or time traveling Hook seeking his and Snow White's help in rescuing their unknown daughter from the future.
  • Just like Simba, whose Uncle Scar had lied to him about his father's murder his whole life since he was a child, Charming was lied to about his dad's murder his whole life by Hook (and he still did that after he recognized Robert from a picture), before Emma told the truth (even though she hinted she would risk lying in not telling him, just like she already did to Henry about his Dad).
  • Both he and Rumple started out as farm boys and are dog people.
  • Charming and Kristoff both have pet and animal sidekick: Sven the caribou and Wilby the dog.
  • Charming has similarities with Wesley from Princess Bride. They both started as farm boys; both became warriors and best swordfighters; both are in love with a princess; both were mostly dead, before they got resurrected; and evil monarchs try to come between them and their loves. He is also similar to Inigo Montoya. Since they were children, both Charming's and Inigo's fathers were slaughtered by villains with unnatural hands.
  • He is very perceptive like his wife.
  • Like Luke and Han from Star Wars while disguised as Stormtroopers, Charming & his wife disguised themselves as Black Knights while infiltrating the castle to save Henry, before they reveal their identities to him.
