The Prince is a minor character who appears in the season seven premiere of the ABC fantasy-drama series Once Upon a Time. This second iteration of the character resides within the Magical Forest.
History[]
At some point after the fourth Curse, the Prince, becomes involved with Lady Tremaine, assisting her in killing her husband. Her stepdaughter, Cinderella, plots to get revenge, as she believes the Prince to be solely responsible for her father's demise. A Resistance against the Prince, his family, and Lady Tremaine is eventually formed, led by Tiana.
When the Prince hosts a ball in hopes of finding love, both Tiana and Cinderella attend, with Tiana spying on the Prince and Cinderella wishing to kill him to avenge her father. After the Prince meets Cinderella, he does not recognize her and is charmed by her. However, when they wander off alone, Cinderella pulls out a dagger ready to strike, only to have a change of heart at the last minute. However, as the Prince thanks her for sparing his life, Lady Tremaine stabs him through the back, killing him so that his younger brother, who has become interested in Lady Tremaine's daughter Drizella, can take the throne. She then frames Cinderella for his murder by calling out for the royal guards to stop her from escaping.
