Thanks Lizzie!! I added it to the front post 🙂
[adrotate group="5"]"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Ok, the problem with this is he says he is a Prince when in fact he is a King now. So this must before Snow and David take the kingdom back.

Well technically he was never a prince. But he is Prince Charming, so he’s telling the truth, in a sense.
The press release says it’s the lost year, David is just simplifying.
Meanwhile, in the Fairy Tale Land that was in the previous year, Prince Charming stumbles upon Rapunzel,
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"Well that doesn’t make sense he and Snow had taken the kingdom before a year was up so he should have said King David, he used James name as the Prince.

Yes, in the sense that he married the rightful ruler and they took back the kingdom…he is King David.
But…David and Snow almost never refer to themselves as such.

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"So, putting together pieces of the puzzle, a hooded woman comes into the tower, David pushes her out the window, and then Rapunzel cuts off her hair so the hooded woman can’t climb back up?
Charming has never been called king. He’s always prince. And while we tend to think that the head rulers have to be called king and queen in a kingdom, that’s not universally true historically (even within europe and accounting for linguistic differences). Lots of places were ruled over by people referred to as princes (or the linguistic equivalent). And Machiavelli’s “The Prince” refers to rulers in general, not a subclass.
Slightly relevant to this season, Ozma, rightful ruler of Oz, was always a princess in the books (even though her father had been a king).
Other interesting thing: David never felt that he was rightfully George’s son, and he married the rightful inheritor of Leopold’s kingdom. It’s possible that Snow could take on the title “Queen” and keep him as only Prince Consort, as at least a couple queens of England’s husbands have been called. Also, Snow might not use that title as there already IS a Queen–Regina–and for personal reasons she might not want to share the term.
Regardless, the characters consistently call David “Prince” long after he and Snow take back the kingdoms, especially those (like the dwarves) who acknowledge him as their (co)ruler. Thus that is his title.

*points at Keb’s post* All of that.
And while we tend to think that the head rulers have to be called king and queen in a kingdom, that’s not universally true historically (even within europe and accounting for linguistic differences).
Case in point, the husband of the current Queen of England has the titles Prince and Duke, but he’s not a King.
That image of a Prince climbing up Rapunzel’s tower with her hair is SO fairytale. Considering all the twists we get on the stories, it’s cool when we get those kinds of moments that are just straight up classic iconic fairytale.
To add to Keb’s post about royal titles, in historic Russia, there were many different competing principalities of which the rulers were called princes, not kings. There was no real supreme power until the emergence of the Grand Principality of Muscovy (Moscow) under Ivan the Terrible, who was the first to be crowned in 1547 as the czar (which is the Russian equivalent of the Latin title “caesar”).
