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.
