Very stupid question, but was talking about this with a friend.

Cinderella, Elsa, Snow White, Belle, Sleeping Beauty, Pochohontus, Belle , Mulan are all over the Disney princesses/ merchandise promotions ? Why is Alice from Alice in Wonderland ignored? xxx

On a side note. Watching Titanic and the two guys that lost the bet with Jack are called Sven and Olaf

Is Megham Markle a princess? If yes, why is she also a duchess?

Because a queen can award titles to whoever they want.

I'm not sure what Megan markle has to do with disney Princesses

Meghan is a princess because she's married to a prince - at the time of their marriage, the Duke of Sussex title was given to her husband, so she holds that as well (there are no limits to the number of titles the royals can hold). She could style herself 'Princess Harry' if she wanted, but she's gone with 'Duchess of Sussex'.

No romantic hero to fulfil the Disney dream!

Incorrect.

Belle is a Disney Princess because she married Prince Adam (the Beast), so she fits into category number 2 - marries into royalty.

Admit it’s been a while since I watched it but do they get married? I dont remember the wedding. Is it at the very end?

if they dont then she isn’t married, therefore she is never a princess. Just a commoner who snogged a Prince.

She's both. All the senior royals hold several titles. But she's not a princess in her own right, only through her marriage to Harry. So she's Princess Henry, and would lose the title if they divorced. If he predeceased her, she'd be Dowager Princess.

I'm not sure if she's a duchess in her own right or not.

@ReneBumsWombats

I'm aware of that thanks, but that still makes her a character, not a real person, as suggested by the pp.

I don't think, with UK originating titles, it is possible to be a duchess in your own right - it only exists as the title of a duke's wife or widow. It can be retained post-divorce if the duchess doesn't re-marry, but it can't be bestowed on a standalone basis.

Um she’s not a princess and she wasn’t created by Disney,
