Reynaldo is the spy that Polonius sends over to France to spy on his son Laertes. He is told that he is supposed to ask people in France what Laertes is actually like (does he party, drink, sleep with prostitutes etc.). The reasoning behind Polonius sending Reynaldo over to France is to see if Laertes is actually there studying art, or if he is just playing around.

What is the difference between reynaldo and prince Hamlet in William shakespeares Hamlet?
Reynaldo is only in one scene and gets next-to-no characterization. That makes this a difficult question, although the easy answer is just that: Hamlet is the central character while Reynaldo could be cut out of the play completely and nobody would notice. If one were to reach for a contrast, one might say that Hamlet gets a straightforward instruction, "avenge your father," but dithers about it, while Reynaldo gets a bizarre instruction, "go slander my son to see if anyone agrees with you," but follows it with little hesitation.
