What is the name of Princess Aurora's prince?

The story behind the answer

What is the name of Princess Aurora’s prince? Princess Aurora’s prince is Prince Phillip.

Phillip is Aurora’s betrothed and true love in Disney’s 1959 animated film Sleeping Beauty. He is the son of King Hubert and is promised in marriage to Aurora from childhood because their fathers are close allies. The two first meet again as young adults in the forest, not realizing at first that they are the royal couple destined to marry.

After Maleficent curses Aurora, Phillip becomes central to the rescue. Maleficent captures him and imprisons him in her castle, but Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather help him escape. They give him the Sword of Truth and Shield of Virtue, allowing him to confront Maleficent after she transforms into a dragon.

Phillip is often confused with Prince Charming, a generic or title-like name used in other fairy tales and Disney stories. He is also distinct from Prince Eric in The Little Mermaid and Prince Naveen in The Princess and the Frog. Phillip is notable as the first named Disney prince with an active heroic role in a theatrical animated feature.
