Has the royal family been to Disney?

The Prince called one ride “unbelievable” A royal family paid a visit to the most magical place on earth. According to PEOPLE, Prince Albert, Princess Charlene and their twins, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, enjoyed a vacation at Walt Disney World.



Yes, the British Royal Family has visited Disney parks on several occasions, both in official and private capacities. Most famously, Princess Diana took Prince William and Prince Harry to Walt Disney World in Florida in August 1993. Photos of the young princes and their mother screaming on Splash Mountain (now Tiana's Bayou Adventure) became iconic symbols of her attempt to give them a "normal" childhood experience. More recently, in June 2025, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were spotted at Disneyland in Anaheim, California, celebrating their daughter Princess Lilibet’s fourth birthday. Harry has often spoken about his love for Space Mountain, which he reportedly rode over a dozen times as a child. While the late Queen Elizabeth II never visited a Disney park, several other European royals, including the Dutch and Spanish royal families, have been spotted enjoying the parks over the decades. These visits are usually managed with high-level security "plaid" guides, allowing the families to move through back-entrances to avoid the massive crowds that a royal presence inevitably attracts.
