Character

Lord Royal Highness (also known as L.R.H.) is the emperor of the lost city of Atlantis. He appears as the former neutral main antagonist of the episode "Atlantis SquarePantis." He is voiced by the late David Bowie in the episode and by Nolan North in the game SpongeBob's Atlantis SquarePantis.

Description[]

His skin is blue and his brain is clearly visible. His lips are large and red and his nose is similar to SpongeBob's. His hair is orange like Bowie's was in real life in the mid-'70s and again in the mid-to-late '90s, and his left eye is colored green while the other one is blue.

Personality[]

He is usually polite towards others and has a positive attitude, until SpongeBob and Patrick pop the world's oldest bubble. This infuriates him and he orders the Atlanteans to seize them.

He also appears clumsy, because he fell down the stairs to the royal palace. He has had visitors before because he says that people do not usually stay with the tour that long. When he finds Plankton, "a talking speck," as a replacement for the bubble, he is no longer angry and is back to his old, friendly self.

Trivia[]

  • Lord Royal Highness's heterochromia iridium is a reference to a common misconception regarding his voice actor, David Bowie. It is often believed that Bowie had one blue eye and one green eye, as is present in his character's design, but in reality, Bowie suffered from anisocoria, the permanent dilation of the pupil, in his left eye; the condition was the result of a fistfight he got into when he was a teenager. On higher contrast cameras, the eyes appear different colors.
  • He and the other Atlantean citizens resemble the Blue Meanies from the Beatles' animated musical movie "Yellow Submarine."
  • Despite his voice actor, David Bowie, being a singer. He doesn't have a musical number in the episode he is featured in.
