The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales (b. 1948), full name Charles Philip Arthur George, is the oldest child of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, making him heir apparent to the sixteen thrones of Commonwealth realm countries.

After the 1977 Royal Variety Performance, Charles was hugged by Muppet monster Mean Mama. That year, David Lazer invited Charles "or his representative" to the ATV Studios to watch a taping, and consider appearing as a guest on the program, saying he understood "if his schedule —or protocol —prevents him." Charles would have received full script approval.^[1] Kermit himself also pitched an appearance.^[2]

Divorced from Diana, Princess of Wales, his marriage to Princess Diana was spoofed in Muppet Magazine issue 2 (spring 1983) as "A Royal Romance: The Frog Prince and Lady Pi".

In 1986, he and Diana attended the Labyrinth Royal Command Premiere.

Kermit the Frog appeared in a 2009 promotional video for the Prince's Rainforests Project, a 2009 online campaign that advocates for an end to rainforest destruction.
