But Ruthie, since the wives were all in different Ports they never met each other. That makes it “No Problem”. Besides Princes travel a lot so he is never home for very long anyway. What the wives don’t know won’t hurt Him.
If you want to know the true details of the three beauties and their past and future relationships with Prince Charming (yes, there’s just the one), check your library for the “Fables” graphic novels series created by Bill Willingham. These are adult versions of the classic fairy tales, where all the characters are real and have complex personalities and new adventures. I’ve read the whole series (LOTS of books!) at least three times. Well worth a look!
If all of Cinderella’s accoutrement reverted back to its original form after midnight, how come the prince has a glass slipper to go around the kingdom looking for the woman who is the perfect fit? In the fairy tale, not the Disneyfied cartoon movie, women and girls went to extreme measures in hopes of fitting into the slipper such as amputation of a few toes here and there.
It wasn’t uncommon for conquerors to marry the daughter of the leader from the country they have just vanquished to stabilize relationships or women in positions of power.
Alexander the Great had 3 wives of Persian descent.
Genghis Khan had six wives and 500 concubines. Roughly 16 million men are blood related to Genghis Khan.
and to Ruthie’s point, yes, both of them are Pigamists!

I always thought that a bigamist was an Italian fog.

But did Prince Manny Charming still have his cigar, like the Pep Boys character used to have back in the old days? ;-)

THAT’S the part she fixates on? Not the odds that Cinderella is the only size 7 in the whole Kingdom?

In the musical “Into the Woods,” while Cinderella’s Prince is seducing the Baker’s Wife, he says “They named me Charming, not Faithful.”

There can be more than one prince charming, like there are more than one princess.

Heck, the three princes might have lived in different centuries for all we know.

Whenever I hear the names Manny, Moe, and Jack I think of the Spike Jones and His City Slickers version of My Old Flame https://youtu.be/9D2A32KUTq0
