Why Nala Is Technically Not A Disney Princess

Contrary to popular belief, the sassy, spunky, and cheerful, Nala from Lion King, Lion King II: Simba's Pride, The Lion King 1½, Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse, Mickey's House of Villains, and finally, The Lion Guard: Return of the Roar, is not indeed a Disney Princess.

On the other hand princess is the daughter of the King and the Queen.“ By understanding the differences between these words completely you can draw the conclusion that Nala was never actually a princess. Nala was not the daughter of a queen or king, however, she was labeled, wrongfully, as a “princess”. This is not true. Nala can be classified as a queen, seeing as she married Simba.
