Prince Hal
Prince Hal is the standard term used in literary criticism to refer to Shakespeare's portrayal of the young Henry V of England as a prince before his accession to the throne, taken from the diminutive form of his name used in the plays almost exclusively by Falstaff. Henry is called "Prince Hal" in critical commentary on his character in ''Henry IV, Part 1'' and '' Henry IV, Part 2'', though also sometimes in '' Henry V'' when discussed in the context of the wider Henriad.

The question of whether Hal's character is cynical or sincere has been widely discussed by critics. Name In the two plays, the diminutive "Hal" is only ever used of the prince, not of any of the other characters named "Henry". It is only one of the several versions of "Henry" used.
