* ''WebAnimation/IfDisneyCartoonsWereHistoricallyAccurate'': The princess's entire IWantSong is about dreaming of marrying a dashing prince (who then [[MaritalRapeLicense forcefully impregnates her]] and she [[DeathByChildbirth dies in childbirth]]). He shows up at the end... before dropping dead of ThePlague.

** The princes in ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'', ''WesternAnimation/{{Cinderella}}'', and ''WesternAnimation/SleepingBeauty'' are often referred to as such. Snow White's prince is simply "the Prince", although she does refer to him as ''being'' charming. Sleeping Beauty's prince is the only one given a real name, Prince Phillip. Later merchandise and such identifies "Prince Charming" specifically as Cinderella's prince, though in the film he's only ever referred to as "The Prince" or "The Noble Prince". It should be noted that in ''Snow White'' and ''Cinderella'' the prince does little more than show up and be royal, while Phillip due to his extended screen time comes the closest to actually portraying this trope.

* ''Anime/PokemonTheSeries'': James of ''Anime/{{Pokemon}}'''s Team Rocket has shades of this, with a little GentlemanThief for good measure. Given that he's from a rich, affluent family, it sort of fits. It's more obvious in the Japanese motto, where he uses the line "Lovely, charming villains" to describe himself and his teammates.

* ''Literature/TheSunneInSplendour'': Richard of Gloucester is a deconstruction of this. He's an idealist and a moralist, and he certainly aspires to be a Prince Charming. He relishes saving his childhood sweetheart Anne from the schemes of his brother George, becoming her KnightInShiningArmor. However, Richard also has a furious temper, is stubborn and his other brother Edward observes that Richard thinks they are living in Camelot and not England. In the end, Richard's life takes a series of dark turns and doesn't prove as adept at managing his enemies as Edward was.
