  Muppeteer :   Richard Hunt 

 Earliest Known Appearance: Episode 2630 This  Magic Prince  appears in the parody Grouch  fairytale. " Snow Grouch &amp; the Seven Dwarfs ", a story read by Oscar the Grouch  to his niece  Irvine  while she was fightin the  Grouch   Flu.

The fairy tale tells the story of a Grouch   Queen  (portrayed by  Grundgetta ), who is the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land. She knows this cause she asks her magic mirror the same question every morning: " Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the grouchiest  of them all? ". The Magic Mirror (voiced by Richard Hunt ) always responds with "  You  are  Queen .  You 're the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land ". The Grouch   Queen 's daughter,  Snow Grouch, with every single passing year, got  grouchier  &  grouchier. The morning after Snow Grouch 's 18th birthday, the  Grouch   Queen  asks the usual question, but this time the Mirror responded with, " The  Grouchiest  1 in all the land is  Snow Grouch  ".

Jealous, the Queen  banishes  Snow Grouch  from the Kingdom -- or as  Oscar  puts it, " She told  Snow Grouch  to get lost! "  Snow Grouch  goes to live with the Seven Dwarfs, in their cottage in the woods.

The next morning, the Queen  asks the Mirror her usual question, sure that since  Snow Grouch  was gone, she was once again the  grouchiest  in the land. But Snow Grouch  is still the  grouchiest  of them all; she's making the Dwarfs' cottage messier every day & throwing the Dwarfs out of their own cottage cause she wants them to get lost, & so she could take her daily mudbath in peace.

The furious Queen  tricks  Snow Grouch  into taking a bite of a magic sour lemon, which will turn her into a nice  Grouch. After she bites the sour lemon, Snow Grouch  starts cleaning up cottage, which made the  Grouch   Queen  the  Grouchiest   Grouch  in all the land once more. But then, as luck would have it, a Grouch   Prince  (played by  Oscar ), who rode in on his dusty white horse, sees  Snow Grouch  cleaning the cottage, enters & yells -- " Hey, you! Snap out of it! ".

With these words, the magic spell is broken, & Snow Grouch  is a true  Grouch  once more. So the Grouch   Prince  &  Snow Grouch  decided to get lost together, & lived  grouchily  ever after.
