The animated films never made mention of his real name. An official advertisement from Disney France said "The Prince's name is Henry", although no more media have called him that, always being referred to simply as "Prince Charming" in the different Disney media and merchandise.
His name was only mentioned in merchandise and, more recently, Kingdom Hearts and Prince Charming's Regal Carousel. Disney France revealed in a TV spot advertising the Blu-ray/DVD release of Cinderella that Prince Charming's real name is Henry (or "Henri" in French).
The Prince, also known as Prince Florian (and erroneously referred to as Prince Ferdinand) is a major character in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He is the first official Disney Prince.
Madden clearly had the opportunity to create a three-dimensional character, thanks to the script, which not only fleshed out the prince's relationship with his father (Derek Jacobi), but also gave Prince Charming a name: Kit.
Richard Madden as Prince Kit, a humble and noble soon-to-be king who falls in love with Ella, despite his duty to marry the princess for the good of his kingdom.
However, in the Disney film, "Cinderella" is truly her name by birth. The Live-Action remake, however, uses the original story's revelation that her original name is Ella, and some Disney-issued storybooks also use this as well.
Cinderella is a nickname she received from her stepsisters and stepmother because she would be so worn out at night she would fall asleep by the fireplace, covering herself in ashes and cinder. Her given name is Ella.
While he may be named in published versions of the story, Cinderella's intrepid shoe-discoverer is only known as “Prince Charming” in the film, much as the prince in Snow White is only known as “The Prince.”
However, this rumor was proven untrue after a review of The Art of Walt Disney book which showed a definitive answer that Prince Florian being 31-ish years old, is fabricated.

Snow White was born into the royal family. Her mother died shortly after her birth. After some time, Snow White's father remarried a vain and cold-hearted queen. Not long after their marriage, the King, Snow's beloved father, suspiciously died, leaving the young princess an orphan.
As the film is based on the traditional fairy tale of the same name by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont, the Beast (also known as Prince Adam) is based on the corresponding character from that fairy tale. This being said the character of Beast in the Disney animated and live action versions was never given a name.
