** ''[[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Frozen]]'': Prince Hans initially averts this by appearing to be a noble gentleman like the usual PrinceCharming, but later plays it straight when [[BitchInSheepsClothing he is revealed to be a conniving, manipulative sociopath]].
*** To be fair, unlike most examples of this trope, Hans DOES have charm. [[FauxAffablyEvil Just not the good kind]].

** ''WesternAnimation/BeautyAndTheBeast'': The Beast started out this way and is largely the reason why the Enchantress cursed him. Gaston is also meant to be a deconstruction of the typical Disney prince, though he doesn’t count for this trope specifically as he is not of any royal family.

*** Prince Harry. When you first meet him, he's a six-year-old selfish prankster who only cares about himself, offering you to be his lackey (only to say you're not worthy of being one), and complains about how long you took when you and your father come to his rescue. [[spoiler: After Pankraz's death and being enslaved by the Order of Zugzwang for ten years]], [[CharacterDevelopment he gets better.]]
*** His son, however, [[spoiler: ends up being a carbon copy of his dad during the spoiled-brat phase,]] even going so far as to [[spoiler: pull the same stunts on the main character's own children]], though thankfully without any kidnapping occurring.

** World Noble Charlos is even worse than Wapol as he routinely abuses commoners, buys women for [[SexSlave sexual slavery]], and is fantastically racist to Fishmen. However, this attitude only gets him slugged and brained in.

* ''Literature/TheMermaidsDaughter'': Fand, also known as Literature/TheLittleMermaid, fell in love with a cruel prince who became sexually obsessed with her and planned to keep her on as a concubine. After Fand left him and went inland (instead of turning into a daughter of air as in the original story), he spent the next twenty years mistreating his wife and the people in his court. When she finally returned, planning to stab him so she and her daughter could turn into mermaids instead of living painful lives on land, the prince's first act was to try to rape her. Even then, she couldn't bring herself to kill him.

* ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire''. At first, idealistic young Sansa Stark believes Joffrey to be a PrinceCharming and is greatly looking forward to their arranged marriage -- but after things go to hell and she becomes a prisoner of war at King's Landing, she quickly realizes Joffrey is not just this trope when he doesn't have to mind his manners in public, but he is [[RoyalBrat a totally spoiled sadist]] on top. She realises her life with him will be ''far'' from happy. She still has to keep up the façade of loving him, however, lest her time at King's Landing become worse. Taken further when he becomes ''King'' Joffrey, loses what little oversight and restraint he had, and becomes a flat-out [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] [[TheCaligula Caligula]].

** Downplayed with Prince Quentyn Martell, who is sent by his father to woo Queen Daenerys. He's a descent and dutiful lad, but just doesn't have what it takes--not in looks or confidence--to win the heart of the WorldsMostBeautifulWoman, and gets himself burnt to death in an ill-judged attempt to win her respect by riding one of her dragons.
