* Lillianne in [[Vocaloid mothy's]] "Daughter of Evil" series. [[spoiler: At least, up until she's thrown out of power and her brother dies.

* Prince Arthur from the BBC series {{Merlin}}.

** Frieza also counts for this trope. He's a prince, [[NiceToTheWaiter has never had anyone say no to him]], and treats his {{Mooks}} and his [[TheDragon Dragon]] as expendable. It's also suggested that, in spite of (or maybe despite) his appearance, he's Really700YearsOld.

* An adult version of this trope exists in Prince John of ''Ivanhoe''. John is frequently referred to in the prose as petty and intemperate, as is the author's wont, and has all his attendants and subjects running in fear of his whims.

* Prince John (of ''RobinHood'' fame) was reputed to be like this. His portrayal in ''TheLionInWinter'' is that of a rude, block-headed teenager who's a constant, unwitting pawn in his elder brothers' schemes.

** Frieza also counts for this trope. He's a prince, [[NiceToTheWaiter has never had anyone say no to him]] (& live very long after that), & treats his {{Mook minions}}, & even his [[TheDragon Dragon]], as expendable. It's also suggested that, in spite of (or maybe despite) his appearance, he's Really500YearsOld.

{{Evil Chancellor}}s and the more malevolent breed of {{Chessmaster}} absolutely ''love'' the RoyalBrat, because manipulating him is, well, child's play. In many cases they will go so far as to murder the present incumbent so as to get a suitably vile little tyke on the throne.

* In GrahamMcNeill's {{Warhammer 40000}} HorusHeresy novel ''False Gods'', Petronella Vivar shamelessly uses her connections to get herself appointed as Horus's remembrancer, and [[NiceToTheWaiter is relentlessly demanding of her servants]]; in particular, she recounts with no shame that Maggard's vocal chords have been destroyed to prevent him speaking in an unfitting manner before her, and when Maggard's defense of her wins him the respect of soldiers, she is bitterly resentful and regards it as inappropriate.

* [[=LaCienega=]] Boulevardez from ''The Proud Family'' is a typical case of this, although people began to do a better job of noticing her way of talking down to them as the series went on.

** [[{{rosered}} This troper]] always saw her as more of a ShrinkingViolet.

* We've gone this far without a mention of Angelica from {{Rugrats}}? This troper hated her for causing the babies so much trouble and tormenting them and even disrespects her parents and other grownups on occasion. And for a while her parents don't punish her because they can't bring themselves to, but they do ground her in a few rare instances.
** Though by the series sequel/spinoff [[AllGrownUp All Grown Up]], it's clear that she can't get her way with her parents as much anymore.

* Vegeta from ''DragonBallZ'' was like this until his CharacterDevelopment towards the Buu saga.

* Harmony is StargateAtlantis.
