Irony being the opposite of what is or can be expected, I guess it could be how the cub Simba can't wait to be king and they dedicate a whole scene and song to it, yet Simba's life takes him to a point wherein he abandones his identity as a king and eventually literally denies that he is the king.

The cub Simba: "I'm gonna be your mighty king, so enemies beware. I'm gonna be the main event like no king was before. ... Oh, I just can't wait to be king!" The adult Simba: "No, I'm not the king. Maybe I was gonna be but... that was a long ago." "We talked about this, I'm not the king, Scar is."

One example of irony in The Lion King is when Scar, who desires to be king, ultimately fails to be a good leader due to his selfish and deceitful nature. Another example is Simba running away from his responsibilities as future king, only to realize he must face them later on to restore balance to the Pride Lands.
