Now everyone knows the stories of the famous Disney Princesses such as Ariel, Cinderella, and Jasmine. Even some of the newer ones such as Tiana, (the newer) Rapunzel, and the supposed "new Princess" Moana are known by a lot of people.
(The Disneywiki site is here but this is not where I got the information about Moana at first;
http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/Moana )
Since each of these princesses usually have a handsome prince behind them saving the day or just hanging around because they have nothing else to do, we as the viewers don't get as much of a background story of the princes. Although over time the princes in more recent movies have gotten more of a character and background, I would like to focus on one Prince in particular, Prince Florian.
Usually referred to as "Prince Charming", the Prince of the traditional movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Because of a lack of introduction for this character not a lot of people know his name just by watching the movie itself.
"Florian" branches off from the word Florus(German), or Florent (French) which means "in flower".
There were some arguments about the Prince's name but Prince Florian was the final decision made by the producers.
The original reason I brought up Prince Florian instead of another; such as Prince Eric, Prince Philip, or Prince Adam (the Beast), because of his role.
(And of course I could name some who are not princes but still have characters but that is not the point.)
Almost all of these princes have at least a small indication of an individuality.
I guess back when the movie was made, Princes were not as talkative. Actually, in the original write up of Snow White, Prince Florian was to have a great role but later was cut to the point where he only shows up twice in the movie. Why? Whats the reason cutting him off like that? What was his story?

Try looking for side characters who's background story has not been explained through the movie (or sequels afterwards) and maybe make one up for them if your research threads come to a dead end.
