As Prince William and new bride, Duchess Catherine Middleton, toured California over the weekend, they grabbed headlines and gave Hollywood's brightest a rare chance to be star struck. Their April matrimony was termed by many a fairytale come to life in its own modern, simulcast way, but come October, the British Royal Family will be given a lesson from the true experts in fairytale lore.
In a unique, surreal swirl of reality meets fable and back again, Disney will induct Rapunzel, the featured star of their animated hit "Tangled," into their official group of Disney Princesses, in a horse and carriage, celebrity-laden ceremony at London's Kensington Palace on October 2nd. The Princess group, mainly, is a way for Disney to package its fabled characters -- Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Mulan, Pocahontas, Snow White and Tiana -- for a new generation, in mediums from entertainment to theme park attractions to merchandise.
