Prince Axel

Prince Axel is Prince Hugo's older brother. He first appeared in the Sofia the First episode "The Flying Crown". Like lots of older siblings, Axel has a habit of pushing his little brother's buttons. He is voiced by Colin Ford, who coincidentally also voiced Hugo in season 1.

Role in the Series
In his debut appearance "The Flying Crown", Axel told Hugo that he loved the Royal Prep cheer and he remembers how the whole school used it to sing to him whenever he flew across the finish line when he went to Royal Prep. The princes' father told him not to make Hugo feel bad, and Axel apologized to Hugo. He knew his little brother wanted to be on that team, and he also knows that not all of them can be winners. Then he reminded him that Sofia and James beat him in the tryout race (from the season 1 episode "Just One of the Princes"). He told Hugo that he'll be a derby star like Axel was. Later, he found Hugo in the fountain (after Sofia accidentally slung him off his horse while they were practicing) and told him to get ready for the race. Axel pushed his little brother's buttons when he told him "So you'd better win, or don't come home. Just kidding, baby bro." Although Axel likes to push Hugo's buttons, he also cares very much for his little brother. When Sofia and Hugo were doing the flying slingshot during the race, Axel and his father were both worried about what would happen since it was the riskiest play in flying derby. At the end of the episode, he told everyone that Hugo takes after him, but Hugo tells Axel that it was mostly because of Sofia's help. He noticed that his little brother was becoming a good person because not only did Sofia teach him about teamwork, but she also reformed him.

Physical appearance
He has light brown hair, black shirt, tan pants, dark red jacket with gold buttons and a royal medallion.

Trivia

 * Axel mostly refers to Hugo as "Baby Bro."
 * Since Axel is a half head taller than his brother, it is possible that he could be a pre-teen or a teenager.
