Disney's princess stories are famous around the world. You must know some of them, such as Snow White, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty.
All princesses are very beautiful. Princes fall in love with them at first sight. In the end, the princess and prince have a happy life together.
However, princesses often cannot protect themselves. They need help from others. This is the old image of Disney's princesses.
A few weeks ago, Disney made 10 new rules. To be a princess, you must follow these rules. Surprisingly, no rule talks about having a "pretty face". Instead the rules are about good characteristics like honesty, loyalty and never giving up.
Princesses need to grow up. When they meet problems, they need to protect themselves. They need to find ways to get away from dangerous people.
For example, Elsa and Anna fight against the bad prince in Frozen. They need to believe in themselves and their friends. Mulan shows her courage to fight in the army. "Beauty" cannot help them. But a strong heart can. In the real world, these are the rules you need to follow.
