Did Disney just shade a duchess? The 2023 remake of The Little Mermaid contains what seems to be a dig at Princess Kate.In one scene of the film, which hits theaters on May 26, Prince Eric (Jonah Hauer-King) tries to guess Ariel’s (Halle Bailey) name after she sacrifices her voice in exchange for legs, Us Weekly can confirm.
