Rapunzel’s Royal Celebration

Disney will officially welcome Rapunzel as the 10th Disney Princess character at a high profile, star studded celebration, to take place in front of a global audience at Kensington Palace, London on 2 October 2011.

The event will see Rapunzel welcomed into the Disney Princess royal court alongside Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Snow White and Tiana.

In a world first, Kensington Palace was chosen as the perfect location for this magical welcoming ceremony of a Disney Princess as it has been the home of many real life Princesses over the centuries.

The festivities will include a procession through Hyde Park, party activities and an amazing welcoming ceremony.
