What does Disney princess have to do with medieval?
They’re kids, not historians. Medieval means knights and princesses to them. Which means Disney princesses. Let them have fun.
I don’t think Plant wanted to deny their fun, just curious what the connection was.
Probably because it’s much easier to find Disney princess costumes than medieval ones, plus (in the US at least) nobility of any type is almost exclusively associated with the medieval period outside of occasionally remembering that the British monarchy exists.
Well I know at least 2 of them that are iconic and from a medieval-looking settings.
Snow White and Cinderella.
Neither are really princesses though. They are just “Disney female lead”.
Mulan KINDA works.
Their stories are about falling in love and end with them marrying princes. Making them princesses.
But also: Snow White was a princess from the very start. That’s why the witch needed her gone; to usurp her throne.
Mulan does not even KINDA work vs these two if you want more than just “female disney lead.”
Sleeping Beauty is also in a medieval setting and canonically a princess.
That’s who I wanted to mention instead of Cinderella. Could not remember the name tho. 🤣
I’ve not seen Brave, but I think it’s roughly tudor-period, and her dad’s a king, so I guess that also counts
Snow White and Sleeping Beauty are set in the medieval period, no?
Are they actual princesses though? The ones that are, aren’t in medieval times.
You could dress up as Princess Diana if it’s just “princesses”.
Medieval, commedia del’arte was 16th century wasn’t it?
a few years back, a friend of mine’s daughter dressed as Anne Boleyn, without her head 🤣
Totally stealing this idea for myself for next year. Gotta win that costume contest
Do one better. Go SCP-049
Good outfit for antifascist protests as well 🤘
