Question

Though the people called the prince "The Happy Prince ",it was crying.Why?​

Answer 1

He was happy because the guards never let him out of the palace. After his death he was placed as a statue outside. He saw the poor starving and crying. This caused him to cry

Answer 2

The prince remembers living a life that consisted of largely unvarying daily pleasures; during the day, he cavorted with his companions in the garden, and in the evenings, he led dances in the Great Hall of the palace. It was only when he died that he became sad, and this was because they placed his statue so high up on the city grounds that he could see the surrounding miseries and degradation in the city.
