...as did another member of sci-fi royalty.

The Alien queen.

Does this make the face-huggers or chest-bursters princesses?

Alien's xenomorph wasn't the only queen chosen.

Rocky Horror Picture Show's Dr. Frank N. Furter had fans.

Fans of Disney created their own unofficial lists of princesses.

The unofficial and former official princesses include Megara of Hercules, Kida of Atlantis: The Lost Empire and Eilonwy of The Black Cauldron who are all not part of the official line because of poor box-office showings.

Vanellope von Schweetz of Wreck-It Ralph has a fun moment with 12 of the official princesses plus Anna and Elsa of Frozen in Wreck-It Ralph 2, but she isn't considered a princess.

Princess Leia of Star Wars which is now owned by Disney as well as Nancy Tremaine and Giselle of Enchanted are excluded from the official line because they're live action characters which could involve royalty payments to the actors who portrayed them.

Esméralda of The Hunchback Of Notre Dame was briefly part of the Princess Line in 2004 but was dropped due to poor merchandise sales.

Tinkerbell of Peter Pan was also part of the Princess Line until Disney launched the Disney Fairies centered on her character.

Anna and Elsa of Frozen were intended to become part of the Princess Line.

But the success of Frozen led Disney to create their own separate media and merchandise line.
