Trivia[]
- In Shannon Hale's book series, the siblings' father is a teacher at Ever After High. However, in A Semi-Charming Kind of Life, he seems to not be a teacher anymore. This could be a continuity error, or quite possibly, he is retired by the start of A Semi-Charming Kind of Life.
- Dr. King Charming won the championship crown for his Dragon-Slaying Squad back when he attended Ever After High. However, in The Class Of Classics, it shows he wasn't always good at everything.
- Even though he is energy-filled and charming in front of cameras, when the cameras go off he starts slouching and looks tired or fed up.
- In The Storybook of Legends, Maid Marian receives an arrow message from Dr. Charming. While tracking down swamp trolls during Heroics 101 class, Hopper got nervous and turned into a frog. A witch then took him, perhaps to cook him in a brew or spell. As a result, the rest of the Heroics 101 was cancelled, and the students of Dr. Charming's class spent the morning searching for Hopper. Since the princes are preoccupied with the search, the princesses of Damsel-In-Distressing class will have to rescue themselves.
- In the Ever After High Yearbook he is without a profile picture, stating that he is "too charming for mirrorphotos".
- In The Class Of Classics is shown that young Charming was clumsy, not an A -grade student and very shy with girls.
