Press photo credit: Paul Hiffmeyer/Disneyland One commenter on the lightning rod of an article about Prince Naveen brought up the point that one reason she loves The Princess and the...
Nefertiti, the one of the two most famous Egyptian queens, as well as part of black history.

(credit: Disney) While a lot of people were making bones about Tiana’s name (originally Maddy) to the race of Prince Naveen (originally white and not named Naveen), one thing people didn’t holler a lot about was the big issue of hair.
