Prince Charming was a UK number one single for four weeks in September 1981 for Adam and the Ants, featured on the album of the same name. Written by Marco Pirroni and Adam Ant, it was their second number one single.
The video was notable for its extravagant production. It featured a swashbuckling Adam Ant, in flamboyant Regency clothes, performing a much imitated arm-crossing dance. The video also featured Diana Dors in one of her last on-screen performances.
On 27 March 2010, Rolf Harris claimed on BBC Radio 5live's Danny Baker Show that an out-of-court settlement had been reached and a large sum of royalties received after a musicologist found "Prince Charming" to be musically identical to Harris' 1965 song "War Canoe".
