The princess in Disney’s Aladdin is Jasmine. She is the daughter of the Sultan of Agrabah and becomes the story’s central royal character alongside Aladdin, the street-smart hero who discovers a magical lamp.
Jasmine first appeared in Disney’s 1992 animated film Aladdin, which was inspired in part by the Middle Eastern folk tale collection One Thousand and One Nights. Unlike many earlier animated princesses, Jasmine is portrayed as outspoken, curious, and frustrated by rules that restrict her choice of a husband and her role in public life.
The character returns in sequels, television adaptations, theme-park appearances, and Disney’s 2019 live-action film. A frequent mix-up is choosing another Disney princess: Belle belongs to Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella to Cinderella, and Ariel to The Little Mermaid. Jasmine is also notable because Aladdin is set in the fictional city of Agrabah rather than a specific historical kingdom.
