He always knew he was banging someone else wife. There are many legends and versions of the myth.

      @danid2702 4 ปีที่แล้ว +101

      This actually explains why she believes he could be king. Remember Cinderella has her own palace in the movie, making Prince Charming an actual prince. This means he would really likely be one of Fiona's possible candidates for marriage, if not the first (because Cinderella is the first and oldest Disney Princess). The only problem is that Cinderella is Fiona's friend, as seen in Shrek 3, so the possibility of marriage is odd.

Jennifer Saunders' rendition of "Holding Out for a Hero" nods to the initial vision of the theme song for Beauty and the Beast.

    I was confused because I initially wondered why Prince Charming wasn’t married to Cinderella, but I’m on board with the theory that Cinderella is Prince Charming’s real mother and King Charming (a.k.a Charming Sr.) is the father. After Fairy Godmother helped Cinderella achieve her happily ever after by going to the ball and marrying Charming Sr., she reminded Cinderella of the condition that her first born child would be given to her in return, like a rapunzel or rumplestiltskin kind of deal. It’s very plausible that Prince Charming was adopted by Fairy Godmother.

    • @aquaaria3489
      @aquaaria3489 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      But it doesn’t add up. Have you ever asked yourself what was Fairy Godmother’s real scheme? If he really was Cinderella’s son, then that meant he was actually royalty to begin with and an actual Prince who would’ve inherited his father’s title… I get that being Sovereign of Far Far Away is a bigger deal, but considering her status and fame she could’ve easily convinced Cinderella’s and Prince Charming’s to arrange a marriage between Fiona and Prince Charming Jr… Also, knowing that Fiona already had a thing for princes, it would’ve been a sealed deal and the plot of Shrek wouldn’t have ever happened…
      Maybe I’m overthinking, but Prince Charming being Cinderella’s offspring sounds off to me for the story… I believe that Prince Charming Jr. was actually “handmade” by the Fairy Godmother and engineered him to be charming, to be athletic, to be valiant like a knight, to grow to be good looking, to be confident, but also to be easily manipulated by her. I think that this was her main plan: manufacture a fake Prince, raising him as her own and filling him up with hopes, make him as perfect as possible, and then give him to a Princess to marry and make him King, so that she can control him from behind the scenes.

    I think you should take the first movie into account. When Farquaad wants to be king, the Magic Mirror tells him he can be one-not through bloodline-but by marrying a princess. That’s the whole plot of the movie-to get the princess so that she can marry Farquaad and he can become king (Harold also married into a royal family; Shrek did, too). So why does Charming have to have hidden royal blood? He doesn’t. He could become king by marrying Fiona, which is exactly what I think Fairy Godmother had planned. I think FGM was the witch who enchanted Fiona so that Charming could rescue her and marry her. So, I don’t think Uther has to be the father.

    There's one key thing that you missed out on, Wotso.
    Fairy GODMOTHER. This is a crucial piece that I believe may sort of imply something deeper.
    Godparents are usually trusted individuals who promises to take responsibility for their religious education. In some families, they are the trusted couple who may adopt a child if anything were to happen to both parents. Prince Charming, in truth could plausibly be not even Fairy Godmother's legitimate child. Here's my theory:
    Prince Charming is a royal child by blood. But his parents either die, or lose their kingdom and Prince Charming's fate is enlisted to Fairy Godmother. Adopting Prince Charming at a young age and does her damnedest to give him the royal crown. Her role in the world is to assure Happily Ever Afters for all who enlist her. This gives her a medium of debt owed by families or people who ask for her help. (As seen that Harold owes his marriage to Lillian.) She can manipulate people to assure her duties are fulfilled. She's given so many people happily ever afters, but her own adopted child has his carefully crafted story stolen from him?
    Fairy Godmother sets out to assure this story ends proper. That her child is given a happy ending that she tailored. This distorts her view of happiness and how only those she deems worthy can have it. "Ogres don't have Happily ever afters!" This ignorance proved to be her biggest lie that all are capable of happiness, as Shrek betrays the stereotype of ogres as is. The lie that Fairy Godmother believes in that only she grants happily ever after had her never consider the possibility of Shrek meeting Fiona. Prince Charming's Happily Ever After is taken and it reveals his true colors of greediness and selfish nature. He knew Fairy Godmother promised him a crown, and like an entitled mother. Fairy Godmother does everything she can to make it possible.

    My theory that what whatever happened between fairy godmother and charming's father made her the power-hungry manipulative cruel woman she became perhaps she was denied her own happy ending with charming father maybe she was cast aside by him or maybe it was his family that interfered and farced him to. Marry someone with Royal blood and power perhaps perhaps fairy godmother wasn't as powerful or as famous back then it would explain overprotectiveness of charming and why she spoils and babies charming it would explain why she instilled in him a belief that he was above everyone else and deserve to rule

      Mine was Fairy God Mother made Charming out of Magic, because at the time I didn’t know Charming even had a father, plus he was never mentioned and since Fairy God Mother has magic, and Shrek is a fairytale movie (in its own way), I just assumed Charming was born from magic. Then her making deals with Harold, to become human. Then Harold and Fairy God Mother cursing Fiona by accident because of the previous magic/potions to make Harold human, Having them stuck another deal and making Charming King, as payment for her helping out King Harold twice. Hence why he is so dead set on becoming king because that the deal, and Fairy God another always telling him he is the rightful ruler. Not only that both mentioned each other, as Fiona knew who was gonna rescue her because of her Dairy in the Movie. Charming already knew about her in the beginning of the movie. Meaning that it was mostly due to the deal struck by King Harold and Fairy God Mother, that they were meant to be with each other. But since Fairy God Mother didn’t know about Lord Farquad and what he was gonna do. Shrek got to Fiona just maybe a couple weeks before Charming even got there.

    I think Charming is Arthur’s father from Shrek 3 for several reasons:
    1. Arthur’s says in Shrek 3 that his father dumped him at a high school and never heard from him again. What if the reason he left Arthur was to go rescue Fiona (Charming)? After that, Charming was probably too emotionally distraught to take care of Arthur, causing him to leave him at the school.
    2. Kids usually inherit traits from their parents, so it would make sense if charming was his dad, they both have blonde hair and many other similar features.
    3. Charming might have had a kid so he could still have a chance at a throne. He probably was just using Arthur to become royalty before Shrek 3 (after Shrek 2 finished).
    4. If Charming is his dad, Cinderella might have been his mom. Cinderella might have taken place along the same time as the Shrek movies. Things might not have worked between the 2, seeing as their relationship was rushed into. This caused Charming to take Arthur after the breakup to marry him off.
    BTW, this is just my theory. Thank you for taking the time to read this!

    Charming and Arthur do look a lot alike, I noticed that the first time I watched Shrek the Third. It would make sense that they could be half brothers. Also, royal family members married each other and had children all the time to keep their lines "pure". That's why there are stories of royals having so many health problems, is due to all the inbreeding. So, realistically, the royal family may not have objected to Fiona marrying Charming even if they knew he was her cousin.

    You know, I like most of your theories, but this one doesn't seem quite as well thought out as most. For one thing, the timeline is all wrong for what you're suggesting. For one, Arthur is far younger than Fiona or Charming, so Fairy Godmother wouldn't have felt threatened by him being born and having a more legitimate claim than Charming, and thus couldn't have decided to turn Harold into a human in response. What's more, if Charming had a claim to the throne through Uther (you're pronouncing the name Uther wrong, btw), wouldn't helping Harold become king just interfere with that claim?
    There's just too many holes in what you've suggested. I think you might be onto something, but this theory needs a bit more work, I'm afraid.

    Interesting theory, by the way. I personally just assumed that Fairy Godmother adopted Charming because he's so unlike her in looks, magic, and competence. Maybe she got him in a "deal" as tends to happen in fairytales that someone might get a powerful reward but at the cost of their first-born child. Sounds evil, but we know she's been shown to do both gifts and curses depending on the situation.

Harold stars to worry so he got a plan and got Lillian pregnant again and they have Fiona, then the Fairy Godmother knows about his plan and confronts him and tells him that she can brake the Happy ever after spell on him so she offers him another deal, to lock (and curse) Fiona into the tower until Prince Charming rescue her!
