DON'T OWN ONCE UPON A TIME. DARN IT.
Prince Charming. That's the name Disney gave me. They didn't even bother to come up with a real name, although I should be flattered that they based it solely on my good looks and, well, charming personality. I am portrayed as a hero, brave and true, as well as perfect. While I am brave, I'm no hero, and I am anything but perfect. You see, I'm not really a prince –but it's complicated. I am through marriage to my beautiful wife, Snow White -who saved me as much as I saved her. I am the twin of a prince and I had to take his place once he was killed, so I don't consider myself a prince. My name isn't even James! As far as flawlessness goes, I have had my fair share of screw ups. I'm rather gullible, for one. I was blinded by Snow's beauty, and that resulted in the scar on my chin, as well as a bout of pneumonia I caught from when she pushed me into a river. I believed her when she told me she didn't love me –although it would have been quite obvious she was lying if I had thought about it– but that's another story for another day. I was unable to protect my kingdom from the Evil Queen's curse. What's more is that I failed to save my family, thus putting an impossible burden on my newborn baby girl. My name is not Prince Charming, nor Prince James, and I wanted to tell you my true story.
