The Prince from Sleeping Beauty is one of the most iconic characters in Disney history. But how old is he supposed to be? The answer may surprise you.
According to the original fairy tale, the Prince is 21 years old when he meets Princess Aurora. However, in the 1959 animated film, he appears to be significantly older than that. Some fans have speculated that this was due to his regal bearing and mature appearance.

The Prince from Sleeping Beauty is said to be around 16 years old. This would make him the same age as Aurora, the princess he falls in love with and eventually wakes up with a kiss. Some believe that the Prince is actually older than 16, but this is never confirmed in the movie.
No matter what his exact age may be, it’s clear that the Prince is a young man in the prime of his life.
How Old is the Prince from Snow White
The first Snow White film was released in 1937, making the Prince 79 years old as of 2016. The character was never given an official name in the movie, but he has been referred to as “Prince Florian” in subsequent Disney publications. In the original Grimm Brothers’ fairy tale, Snow White’s prince is named Ferdinand.
The Prince is shown to be a kind and gentle man, who is immediately taken with Snow White when he sees her singing in the forest. He risks his life to save her from the Evil Queen’s Huntsman, and eventually defeats the Queen by forcing her to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance until she drops dead.
After Snow White wakes up from her coma-like sleep, she and the Prince live happily ever after together.
They are seen riding off into the sunset at the end of the film, presumably to get married.

How Old is Prince Charming And Snow White?
The original Snow White story, written by the Brothers Grimm, does not give specific ages for the characters. However, in Disney’s 1937animated movie Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Snow White is 14 years old. In the 2002 live-action movie Snow White: The Fairest of Them All, Snow White is played by an adult actress, but her age is not given.
Prince Charming’s age is also not specified in either version of the story.
In general, when stories or movies are based on fairy tales, the characters are usually given ages that are appropriate for children or young adults. This allows children to identify with the characters and makes the stories more relatable.
For example, in Disney’s 1950 animated movie Cinderella, Cinderella is given an age of 19. This was likely chosen because it falls within the range of typical ages for young women who are coming of age and experiencing many firsts (e.g., going to a ball, meeting a prince).
It’s interesting to note that in both versions of Snow White (the Brothers Grimm story and Disney’s movie), Snow White is younger than her prince charming.
In fact, she is half his age in Disney’s movie! This may be due to historical factors such as child marriage being more common in past centuries. It could also be seen as a way to makeSnow White seem more innocent and pure compared to her older prince charming who has presumably experienced more of life.
How Old is the Prince in Rapunzel?
In the Disney movie, Rapunzel, the Prince is 18 years old. In the original fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, he is 22 years old.

The Disney princes are all different ages. The oldest is Prince Phillip, who is 18 years old. The youngest is Aladdin, who is only 15 years old.
However, the average age of a Disney prince is 16 years old.
How Much Older is Prince Philip Than Aurora?
Aurora is the third daughter of Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth II. She was born on April 30, 1956, at Windsor Castle. Her full name is Aurora Elizabeth Diana Caroline Margaret Sophie Mary Pauline Louisa Alexandra Victoria.
At the time of her birth, she was fifth in line to the throne after her cousins Charles, Anne, Andrew, and Edward.
Prince Philip is Aurora’s father and he was born on June 10th, 1921 making him 35 years old when Aurora was born. Therefore, Prince Philip is currently 98 years old while Aurora is 64 years old.
Conclusion
Walt Disney’s Sleeping Beauty was released in 1959 and tells the story of Princess Aurora who is cursed by the evil Maleficent to die on her 16th birthday. The good fairies Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather manage to weaken the curse so that instead of dying, Aurora will fall into a deep sleep. Prince Phillip, the handsome young man Aurora meets in the forest, manages to defeat Maleficent and awakens Aurora with true love’s kiss.
So how old is Prince Phillip?
The answer may surprise you. In Sleeping Beauty, Prince Phillip is actually only 17 years old!
This makes him two years older than Princess Aurora. Of course, in real life, actors Bill Shirley (the voice of Prince Phillip) and Mary Costa (the voice of Princess Aurora) were both adults when they recorded their parts for the movie. But it’s still fun to think about what their characters’ ages would be if they were real people!
