The Prince is Snow White's love interest and later husband, and a major character in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
He was voiced by the late Harry Stockwell. In the Robot Chicken series, he was voiced by Seth Green and Matthew Senreich. In the video game, he was voiced by James Arnold Taylor. In the Japanese dub from the video game, he was voiced by Toshiyuki Morikawa.
While traveling near the Queen's castle, he hears Snow White singing into the "wishing" well ("I'm Wishing"), and approaches her. He starts singing with her, which frightens her, forcing her to run from him and into the castle. He, however, continues singing ("One Song") beneath her balcony, for he has fallen in love with her.
The Prince doesn't appear again until after Snow White has been poisoned by the apple, courtesy of her stepmother, the Queen. The Prince, however, awakens her with a kiss, and they ride off into the sunset in their castle in the sky, presumably get married, and live happily ever after.
Other appearances
In the live-action film, Flubber, the Prince made a cameo appearance on the monitor of Weebo the Robot.
Like other Disney characters, the Prince received many cameos in House of Mouse, but for him, they were always non-speaking. He was usually seen at a table with Snow White.
The Prince appears as one of the two tetartagonists (the other being his wife) in the fantasy-drama series Once Upon A Time where he is known as Prince Charming and is the father of his and Snow White's daughter Emma Swan and is also the grandfather of Henry Mills.

Trivia
Disney France once revealed in a TV-spot that his real name is Florian. That same TV-spot also gives Prince Charming's real name is Henry (or "Henri," as it would be in French), although Disney on Parade called him "Prince Alto August Ferdinand".
The name "Florian" originates from this article. It was allegedly used by Disney when it started the Disney Princess franchise.
At the 1938 Oscars, Shirley Temple mentions the name "Ferdinand" among others while presenting Walt Disney his awards. Many have interpreted that she was referring to the Prince, saying that Ferdinand is his name. However, she was not referring to the Prince, but rather to Ferdinand the Bull. As confirmed by Dave Smith, Historian of the Walt Disney Studio Archives, the Prince (along with fellow prince Prince Charming) was never given a name in the film and "Ferdinand" has never been used as one by the company.
Despite this, many Disney fans still believe that the Prince's name is Ferdinand.
The Prince was originally going to be the deuteragonist of the film, but became of his realistic look he was hard to animate, so he only appears in beginning and and the end. This could explain why he role was mirror.
