The Classic Princess Gets a Makeover

Rapunzel is the tenth official Disney Princess to be crowned. There is not much to be said about the shy, sweet 18 year old except that she is a throw back to the classic Disney Princess like Aurora or Cinderella. She possess similar qualities that the original princesses have but she is more modern. Unlike her classic princess pals, her dreams do not include escaping her tower to be saved by her dream prince. Instead, her dreams and aspirations include freedom, independence, and adventure. She may not be the badass role model that Mulan is, but there are little criticisms to be found in the retelling of this classic fairy tale.

In 2011, Princess Rapunzel actually received a real life coronation in London. This started a new trend of official coronation ceremonies, as Princess Merida also received one back in May of 2013.
