Character Spotlight: Prince Charming from ‘Cinderella’ at Disney World
Prince Charming is the handsome prince from Disney’s animated film Cinderella. He dances the night away with Cinderella at the royal ball until the clock strikes midnight. She then flees the palace as her magical spell begins to dissipate, and Charming is left holding her glass slipper.
