- “Fear not, Giselle! I will rescue you!”
- ―Prince Edward
Prince Edward of Andalasia is the tritagonist in Disney's 2007 animated/live-action film Enchanted and a supporting character in its 2022 sequel, Disenchanted. He is the pure, simple-minded and naive, but innocently narcissistic prince of Andalasia being the stepson of Queen Narissa. Edward strongly believes in instant love and falls in love with Giselle. After Giselle was sent to New York, Edward follows but ends up confused with the world of New York once entering it. He is now the king of Andalasia and after marring Nancy Tremaine, she became the queen of Andalasia.
Personality[]
Edward is handsome and brave, but a little clumsy when he enters New York City. He is also somewhat slow. He is set on his goal to find and bring Giselle back home to get married and presumably live happily ever after. He is described by James Marsden as "very pure, very simple-minded and naive but innocently narcissistic."
While Giselle and Edward appear to be perfect for each other at first, it turns out they do not have many things in common. Edward had a tendency for violence (misguided or not), while Giselle herself did not. In addition, he was not as intelligent as Giselle herself, as while Edward was not able to understand Pip after he came with him to New York City, Giselle was able to understand him perfectly. And while Edward intended to protect Giselle, he also planned to kill Robert in order to do so, something she herself would never do.
Ultimately, he decided that while he and Giselle were not made for each other, he also did not mind marrying someone who was as masculine (if still a woman) as he was.
