Characters / The Prince (2021)

Characters from The Prince.

Prince George

• Ambiguously Gay: Prince George conforms to many gay stereotypes such as being a fashionista and following celebrity culture. His voice actor and series creator, Gary Janetti, is also gay and does not shy away from featuring LGBT characters in the show already, so it's possible this is intended for his character as well.
• Attention Whore: As seen in the School Musical trilogy, it was of utmost importance that Prince George be the main character of Oliver, as he needed to have the most attention in the entire play.
• Bratty Half-Pint: Prince George is an obnoxious, whiny little brat, who always complains about everything.
• Entitled Bastard: Feels as though he's owed the world just for being royalty. The sad thing is, he actually gets this.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: It is there, hidden under huge layers of entitlement and selfishness. Deep down he cares about Owen.
• Karma Houdini: As a royal, Prince George doesn't ever have to deal with any of the harsh realities of getting punished for his foul behavior.
• Spoiled Brat: As a member of the British royal family, Prince George is literally treated like royalty and easily gets everything he wants handed to him on a silver platter, no matter how tall the order. However, his thankless personality makes him completely undeserving of such luxury.

Owen

George's loyal personal butler.

• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: Platonic example, George heaps scorn and abuse on Owen, but he does care for him (even though he doesn't seem to want to admit it). For his part, Owen does show annoyance at times, but all through his day off he takes George's incessant calls because he seems to like the boy's company, and seems to realize both of them need the companionship (Owen being a widower facing an empty home, and George suffering from parental neglect). At the very end of the season, Owen sees a missed call from George and (rightly) assumes George is in trouble. However, the show was cancelled after season 1, so we will never know what happened.
• The Jeeves: Despite his misgivings with George and the way George treats him, he does truly care for him and always wants to do a good job taking care of him. He is not a PERFECT butler...he is seen doing the best he can, and when George asks for the truth about how talented he is, Owen gives the most couched answer he can...but it doesn't save him from being fired.
• Yes-Man: Never openly questions George's opinions or requests, since it is his job. The one time he is invited to truly speak his mind, George fires him despite Owen giving the most couched response he can.

Queen Elizabeth II

• Aristocrats Are Evil: The highest and mightiest of all the aristocrats is a destructive elitist, who mistreats everybody around her and gets away with it on account of being the queen.
• God Save Us from the Queen!: The Queen is a very vile and heartless woman, who abuses her butlers so much that they fear her and dread her every move.
• Karma Houdini: As the Queen of England and the highest-ranking official in all the land, Queen Elizabeth receives no punishment for anything she does, giving her a free pass to be as heartless of a bitch as she wants.
• Lady Swears-a-Lot: Relatively swears and drops F-bombs a whole lot more than the other women of the family.
• Proper Lady: Subverted. While Queen Elizabeth does commit to all the tropes of this kind of character, wearing elaborate clothing, talking with a British accent, living in a big fancy castle, etc., She is actually a very crude and reproachable person, who swears like a sailor and treats everyone around her awfully, even her family.
• "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gave Charles and Camilla one of these in "School Musical Part 3", albeit completely unjustified. She really went all out with raging at the two for allegedly "plotting behind her back to steal the crown". Her face was flushed red with rage and she stormed out of the room, claiming that she'd never step down from the throne, especially not to put someone like Charles in charge, and that they'd have to bury her in her crown.

Prince Philip

• Cloud Cuckoolander: Usually just sits there and screams out random pop culture non-sequiturs like "Channing Tatum!" and "Big Bang Theory!".
• Grumpy Old Man: Much like his wife, Prince Philip has a strong disliking for Camilla.
• Sadist: Takes enjoyment from watching others suffer. Prince Philip usually mocks the poor and sick or laughs at insults directed toward Camilla.
• Scatterbrained Senior
• The Stoic: Is practically a walking corpse at this point, who rarely makes any motions whatsoever. In "Vacation", he literally caught on fire and didn't even respond. In "School Musical Part 3", Douglas and Greg had to manipulate him like a puppet to get him to move.
• Toilet Humor: In "Charity", Prince Philip's colostomy bag broke and his shit poured out and flowed down the stairs.
• The Unintelligible: Mostly just sits around makes a bunch of moans and screams.

Prince Charles

• Humble Goal: Prince Charles wants to be the king.
• Manchild: Acted like one in "Date Night", begging his mommy and daddy to take him and Camilla with them on their date.
• Necessarily Evil: Prince Charles will occasionally insult Camilla but only so that Queen Elizabeth will like him better. He doesn't really enjoy hurting her but he makes it clear that he has to otherwise, they won't become the new king and queen.
• Token Good Teammate: One of the few members of the royal family, who's actually a good person. Prince Charles never insults or abuses his butlers and actually treats them with a decent level of respect.

Camilla Shand

• Butt-Monkey: Camilla is the royal punching bag of the family, especially Queen Elizabeth, who takes shots at her appearance, personality, and existence every single day.
• Fan Disservice: Implied, as Charles asks her to show off her bikini and her "perfect figure" while his parents and grandson make it clear that she doing so would require Brain Bleach.
• Suddenly Voiced: In "School Musical Part 3", Camilla had her first (and only) line of dialogue in the series, "Oh, it's hot!", when she burned her mouth on some tea.
• The Voiceless: Doesn't ever have any dialogue in the series, with one exception as mentioned above.

Prince William

• Awful Wedded Life: Prince William is rather unhappy with his marriage to Catherine. The two are always insulting each other, whenever they're together.
• Lack of Empathy: The main reason Catherine wants a divorce is because of how little he truly cares for her, their marriage, or anything.
• Lazy Husband: Expects his wife to take care of everything, while he sits around and texts on his phone.
• Parental Neglect: Pays no attention to his own children. In "Vacation", he and Catherine got into an argument over who had to watch over the kids.
• Volleying Insults: Gets into these battles with his wife.

Catherine Middleton

• The Alcoholic: Most scenes involve her drinking heavy amounts of wine or other alcohol, with William passive-aggressively berating her for it. This tendency tends to disappear later in the season.
• Awful Wedded Life: Starting with "Charity", Catherine claimed that she wanted a divorce with William and spent the season preparing to leave him. This all changed in "School Musical Part 3", when she realized that if she stayed together with William, then they would likely one day have the crown and rule the country together (even though that should have been OBVIOUS from day 1). From then on, she and her little marital disputes just magically disappeared.
• I Just Want to Be Normal: In "Charity", Catherine soon came to realize that she hated her life and wants to get out of the royal family, so she can go back to being a regular citizen again.
• Parental Neglect: Has very little screen time with Prince George, much less any of her other children. Her lack of involvement with her son's life is so bad that when she told George to play outside in "Vacation", he was surprised to hear his mom even talking to him.
• Volleying Insults: Gets into these battles with her husband.

Prince Harry

• Too Dumb to Live: Meghan had to explain that apartments aren't palaces and how refrigerators are supposed to be cold and isn't "an American thing".

Meghan Markle

• Hartman Hips: Meghan is drawn as very slender (almost as much as her famously skinny sister-in-law) with a small waistline and very curvy hips.
• Parenting the Husband: Meghan has to explain concepts that most people, especially common people, have taken for granted.

Princess Charlotte

• Teen Super Spy: Or rather, a 6-year old superspy, and not that good at hiding it. Her entire character is that she is a spy and sleeper agent for some Russian organization and attempts to get them documents from her great-grandmother.

Prince Louis

• Creepy Child: Mostly harmless, but he has the voice and overall personality of a gruff, working-class football hooligan. He also works crowd control for the line for the Queen's office.
• Football Hooligan: His character trait is that he is a 3-year old who acts like a working-class rude football hooligan.
• Vocal Dissonance: Despite the fact that he's only a young child, his voice is closer to that of a deep-voiced adult hooligan.
