There's a Moment in 'The Little Mermaid' That Has Many Questioning If It's a Princess Catherine Diss

A report is circulating online that some are taking to be a diss towards Princess Catherine (aka Kate Middleton), while others are just thinking its a big coincidence!

One individual who apparently saw the movie spoke out about a moment in the film where the names “Diana” and “Catherine” are mentioned. Prince William and Prince Harry‘s mother is, of course, named Diana.

The source who allegedly saw the film told Page Six about the moment in particular, saying, “Ariel has sacrificed her voice in order to get to the surface and [meet] Prince Eric. She can’t speak so he tries to guess her name. His first guess is Diana. His second guess is Catherine, but after [Ariel gives a disgusted] reaction, he [concludes] ‘OK, definitely not Catherine.’”

Furthermore, during Meghan and Harry‘s bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, Meghan actually said she identified with Ariel in The Little Mermaid.

She shared that after her wedding to Harry, “I was sitting in Nottingham Cottage, and The Little Mermaid came on. And who as an adult really watches The Little Mermaid? But it came on, and I was like, Well, I’m here all the time. I might as well watch this. And I went, Oh, my god, she falls in love with the prince and because of that she loses her voice….But in the end, she gets her voice back.”

The live action film hits theaters on May 26, and we cannot verify if that moment actually happens or if the filmmakers intended to throw any shade…so we’ll have to wait and see!

DO YOU THINK this is a coincidence or there’s something more Ariel’s reaction to the name “Catherine”?
