Richard McCarthy Loud III is a deuteragonist of The Loud House Movie and the main protagonist of The Luxurious Loud House, a spin-off of The Loud House.

Biography
Richard Loud was born on February 1, 2005. He is a rich and popular kid who is the only son and middle child of Loud Industries CEO Lucio Loud and socialite Margaret Loud and a member of the prominent Loud family of Royal Woods, Michigan. Richard happens to be a direct descendant via his mother of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. He also happens to be the god-brother of Bobby and Ronnie Anne Santiago. Like his older sister Lucia, and his distant cousin, Lynn, Richard possesses the habit of turning everything into a sport. Like Lincoln, Richard lives in an often-chaotic household with ten sisters no matter how rich he and his family are. He is an amalgamation of ten of his 11 distant cousins, having Lori’s bossiness and insecurity, Leni’s compassion, Luna’s love and talent for music, Luan’s love for comedy, Lynn’s athleticism and roughhousing, Lincoln’s planning, Lucy’s shadiness, Lana’s courage to getting her hands dirty, Lola’s narcissism, and Lisa’s intelligence. Richard attends St. Francis of Assisi Elementary School.

Personality
Richard is very athletic and competitive. He is the heir apparent to Loud Industries and uses this fact to assert authority and absolute dominance towards his siblings. He can also be arrogant and narcissistic due to his handsome appearance and his athletic skills. However, aside from these traits, Richard is actually very nice and caring. He loves his family and enjoys spending time with them. He is shown to be sophisticated, well mannered and a cultured gentleman, enjoying the finer things in life such as classical music, novels, viewing artwork, etc., but he also enjoys some of the lesser things in life, like listening to popular music, and he’s not afraid to get his hands dirty but has his own limits, as he is not willing to get himself dirty unless he’s playing sports. Furthermore, Richard is also very popular, having a great social life, and can make friends with a lot of people, because it was revealed that when he makes new friends, they treat him like a celebrity. His known friends are Charles Davis Jr., Veronica Mangano, Douglas Cornheiser, Francis Nguyen, Lincoln Loud, Clyde McBride, Ronnie Anne Santiago, Rusty Spokes, Liam, Zach Gurdle, and Stella.

Richard can be protective of his family and the people he cares about, as well as his family's honor and reputation.

Richard is also very intelligent, being a straight-A student and is multilingual as well.

He happens to be a Republican, having Conservative views such as anti-abortion, self-defense, etc.

Despite his Conservative traits, he is very accepting, compassionate and respectful, having no problem with Clyde McBride's gay parents, or CJ's Down Syndrome.
