      They’re kids, not historians. Medieval means knights and princesses to them. Which means Disney princesses. Let them have fun.

        Who said they couldn’t have fun? It’s just stupid that parents think Disney princess means medieval. And for the record, this isn’t true… there wouldn’t be actually no actual princesses and ALL Disney. It’s just a cute dumb story, sorry you fell for it.

          Many of the Disney stories have been around in medieval Europe as folklore, so it’s not as much of a stretch as you suggest here

            As pointed out in the comments, 2 maybe fit out of over a dozen plus.

            That’s not many, and yes it would be asinine to assume that an entire school dressed up incorrectly. It’s not even a half believable story to begin with, as it makes no friggen sense lol.

            It’s an exaggerated story to make it “worthwhile” to post to social media. Which do you think is more likely? A small lie, or an ENTIRE school dressed wrong for one sex, and yet this sole kid is a plague doctor? No female knights? People are way to gullible these days.

              To me it seems you’ve switched from ranting about one thing to another, and I have no interest in following you there.

      Probably because it’s much easier to find Disney princess costumes than medieval ones, plus (in the US at least) nobility of any type is almost exclusively associated with the medieval period outside of occasionally remembering that the British monarchy exists.

        Are they actual princesses though? The ones that are, aren’t in medieval times.

        You could dress up as Princess Diana if it’s just “princesses”.

          Are they actual princesses though?

          Yep, they are included in the official princess lineup, which currently has 13 members.

          Golden- and silver-era princesses:

          • Snow White
          • Cinderella
          • Aurora (Sleeping Beauty)

          Renaissance-era princesses:

          • Ariel
          • Belle
          • Jasmine
          • Pocahontas
          • Mulan

          Revival-era princesses:

          • Tiana
          • Rapunzel
          • Merida (the only Pixar princess)
          • Moana
          • Raya

          Note: Anna and Elsa were deemed “too successful” to be included in the princess franchise, and instead got their own “Frozen” franchise.

            Umm those aren’t princesses…. Just Disney main lead that they use that term incorrectly for…

            A princess is royalty who holds titles as well as duties. How many for the REAL definition, not Disney’s made up one?

              I think the only exception in the Disney lineup is for Mulan. The rest are all either born royal or marry royal.

              • ✅ Snow White: Daughter of the King and Queen
              • ✅ Cinderella: Marries Prince Charming
              • ✅ Aurora: Daughter of King Stefan
              • ✅ Ariel: Daughter of King Triton
              • ✅ Belle: Marries Prince Adam (yes, The Beast has a name)
              • ✅ Jasmine: Daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah
              • ✅ Pocahontas: Daughter of the Powhatan Chieftain
              • ❌ Mulan: Neither born royal nor marries royal
              • ✅ Tiana: Marries Prince Naveen
              • ✅ Rapunzel: Daughter of the King and Queen of Corona
              • ✅ Merida: Daughter of King Fergus of DunBroch
              • ✅ Elsa: Daughter of the King and Queen of Arendelle
              • ✅ Anna: Daughter of the King and Queen of Arendelle
              • ✅ Moana: Daughter of Chief Tui
              • ✅ Raya: Daughter of Chief Benja

              I suppose one could argue whether or not Chiefs are royalty, but culturally the role is more or less equivalent.

                Hey, they specified medieval, not princesses. And you would be surprised I guess by the amount of people who wouldn’t mind having a discussion about the absurdity of it.

                People like different parties ;) try going to one first maybe.
