What is the name of the prince who betrays Anna in Frozen?

Prince Hans is the prince who betrays Anna in Frozen.

Hans arrives in Arendelle for Elsa’s coronation and quickly charms Anna. After meeting her that day, he proposes marriage, and Anna accepts almost immediately. Their duet, “Love Is an Open Door,” deliberately presents the relationship as a storybook romance.

The apparent romance is a deception. Hans is the thirteenth son of the ruler of the Southern Isles, with twelve older brothers ahead of him in succession. He plans to marry Anna, arrange Elsa’s death, and take control of Arendelle. He later leaves Anna to die and falsely tells the court that Elsa killed her.

A common mix-up is confusing Hans with Kristoff, Anna’s genuine love interest, or with Prince Charming, a generic fairy-tale label rather than a Frozen character. Hans is ultimately defeated when Anna sacrifices herself to save Elsa. After the truth is exposed, he is arrested, exiled, and sent back to the Southern Isles for punishment.
