Recently I made two episodes comparing the Disney Princesses to real royal women from history.


And while the romantic and tragically true tales of fair maidens are fascinating, the real juicy tea is with the villains! Let’s take a look at the inspiration behind 7 of Disney’s devious baddies, and meet real historic antagonists who hail from similar cultures, and committed equivalent evil deeds.

(c. 597)
Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland - Queen Victoria of the UK (1819 – 1901)
Captain Hook from Peter Pan - Charles II
King of England

aka Blackbeard
1680 – 1718
Maleficent

(1400-1452)
Jafar from
Aladdin - Ja’far ibn Yahya
