Snow White Snow White is maybe the most notable of all princesses ever put to paper or screen in Disney's illustrious history. While being the youngest princess at 14-years-old, she's also the first princess in the first animated feature ever.

Snow White holds the title of both the very first and the youngest Disney Princess. Debuting in 1937 in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, she established the official princess franchise lineup. Within her story, Snow White is canonically only 14 years old, making her significantly younger than later "adult" princesses like Elsa (21) or Tiana (19). In 2026, Snow White remains a cornerstone of Disney's "Ultimate Princess Celebration," representing the "Dreamer" archetype. While characters like Jasmine (15) and Ariel (16) are also teenagers, none match Snow White's youthful 14-year-old status. It is a fascinating piece of trivia for Disney enthusiasts that the princess who started it all is also the one with the most childlike age, reflecting the era's storytelling style where she was portrayed as a literal "fair maiden" on the cusp of growing up, yet still under the care (and threat) of her stepmother, the Evil Queen.
