How many for the REAL definition, not Disney’s made up one?
Does this really matter? It’s pedantry for the sake of it. We use terms like “princess” and “queen” colloquially to refer to groups with a shared identity, and they’re all made up. Whether they have a tangential relationship to royalty doesn’t really matter when you’re talking about aesthetics and archetypes.
I’d suggest using “royal princess” to separate the terms and move on. There are plenty of cultural reasons to use “Disney princess” as a symbol that only incidentally relates to the company or royalty.
Hey, they specified medieval, not princesses. And you would be surprised I guess by the amount of people who wouldn’t mind having a discussion about the absurdity of it.
People like different parties ;) try going to one first maybe.
Yep, they are included in the official princess lineup, which currently has 13 members.
Golden- and silver-era princesses:
Renaissance-era princesses:
Revival-era princesses:
Note: Anna and Elsa were deemed “too successful” to be included in the princess franchise, and instead got their own “Frozen” franchise.
Umm those aren’t princesses…. Just Disney main lead that they use that term incorrectly for…
A princess is royalty who holds titles as well as duties. How many for the REAL definition, not Disney’s made up one?
I think the only exception in the Disney lineup is for Mulan. The rest are all either born royal or marry royal.
I suppose one could argue whether or not Chiefs are royalty, but culturally the role is more or less equivalent.
