Each Disney Princess movie is set in a different time and part of the world. For many they are a first glimpse of history and cultures outside of our own. But have you ever wondered what life was really like for your favorite Disney Princess? Let’s take a look at each of Disney’s 16 animated Princesses, including the latest addition, Asha, to determine where and when they are most likely set. Then I’ll match each iconic princess to a real-life royal woman from the same time and place. So we can get a sense of what life without witches, curses and singing animal sidekicks was really like. In some cases there are interesting similarities; Louise of Prussia spent much of her youth locked away like Rapunzel, Princes Eugenie of Norway refused to marry a man she just met, like Elsa, and Nafanua of Samoa went on a quest to help her people, like Moana. So put on your ballgown and tiara, or strap on your armor and let’s compare Disney Princesses to real history!
