King Randolph

King Randolph is a supporting character in Barbie in The 12 Dancing Princesses. He’s voiced by Christopher Gaze. Randolph is the father of 12 princesses and he’s a widower who misses his wife, Queen Isabella. He has an evil cousin, Duchess Rowena who tries to poison him so she can rule the kingdom.

Story
The King talks to the ambassador of Bulovia. The ambassador invites his daughters on a royal celebration. At the same moment, some of Randolph's daughters appear. He decides to invite his cousin, Duchess Rowena, to teach the princesses how to be proper.

After drinking tea from Rowena, the king feels worse and is forced to go to bed. His daughter Genevieve decides to call the doctor. Rowena volunteers to take care of the king, but day by day, he feels worse. Finally, he feels so bad, that he appoints Rowena to be the queen. On the same day, she reveals her plan to him saying that she was poisoning him, so she could rule the kingdom herself. But Genevieve and Derek appear. They expose her and see that he is dying.

Lacey gives him the water that she took from the pavilion, she pours it into his mouth and he wakes up. Later, he leads Genevieve to the altar when she is marrying Derek. When the movie was almost over, he finally understood that the princesses will be fine and they will do great things in their own way just like their mother always told him. He allowed Derek to marry Genevieve.

Physical Appearance
King Randolph has dark blond hair and light teal eyes. Of all of his daughters, Lacey resembles him most in physical appearance (she also seems to be his favorite, although he obviously loves all of his daughters very much). King Randolph dresses in an 18th century style outfit.

Personality
King Randolph is shown as a man who loves his family, but he doesn't want to be ashamed. Sometimes he can't understand his daughters and sometimes he can't talk with them. He hates to see his daughters upset and his daughters are the best part of his life.
