The official list from the Walt Disney Company consists of TEN princesses:

  • Snow White, from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs(1937)
  • Cinderella, from Cinderella (1950)
  • Aurora, from Sleeping Beauty (1959)
  • Ariel, from The Little Mermaid (1989)
  • Belle, from Beauty and the Beast (1991)
  • Jasmine, from Aladdin (1992)
  • Pocahontas, from Pocahontas (1995)
  • Mulan, from Mulan (1998)
  • Tiana, from The Princess and The Frog (2009)
  • Rapunzel, From Tangled (2010)

Although they are included in the Disney Princess franchise, Cinderella, Belle, and Tiana are not princesses by birth. They became princesses through marrying princes. There is also some controversy about Pocahontas and Mulan being included in the Princess list. Pocahontas is the chief's daughter, but Native American tribes differ from tradition European royalty. Mulan is not royal by birth and marries a general, not a prince.

There are 9 Disney Princesses. Mulan is not a princess, neither is Pocahontas. They are strong female leaders but not princesses. Princesses have to be born or married into royalty to become princesses. Native American Indians do not consider their Chief a king. He is a political leader and governor (sort of like the president) and can be elected. Pocahontas marries a general and adventurer who works for the king but is not royalty. Likewise with Mulan's case. Mulan's people do not have kings and queens either. They have emperors. Even in that light Mulan is still no princess. She is a general's wife. She and Pocahontas both live beautifully rich and prosperous lives as the wives of generals and change the way that their people think and look at others. People tend to think they are princesses but they are not. The 9th Disney princess is princess Sofia of the Disney show Sofia the first (2012). All of the princesses are white except Jasmine (Arabian), Tiana (African/Caribbean American) and Sofia (Biracial/ Latina and White). And all of the Disney princesses except Sofia are based on the fables from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Mulan and Pocahontas on the other hand, were based on the lives of two real women. The Chinese Warrior Hua Mulan,Wei or Zhu (Mulan) and The Native American Matoaka or Amonute (Native Americans do not use last names and Pocahontas was her nickname.) She married John Rolfe in real life.
