In Aladdin (2019), Prince Anders about to marry Jasmine:

Prince Anders: So, why did no one tell me of your beauty?

Jasmine: No one mentioned yours, either.

Prince Anders: Oh! Thank you. They say that in Skanland. It's very, very amusing.

Jasmine: Is it?

Prince Anders: Yeah.

Jasmine: We have the same title, yet are never described the same way.

What "title" is Jasmine referring to?

Presumably, she's referring to the title of "princess". As the daughter of the Sultan, Jasmine is the princess of Agrabah, just as Anders is the prince of Skanland. I haven't seen the 2019 version, so I'm unsure if she's ever explicitly referred to as a princess in it, but in the original 1992 film she is referred to as "Princess Jasmine" on multiple occasions.

The Ttile is a reference to their individual statuses as heir to their thrones (princes and prince). The "Never described in the same way" is a nod to the fact that a prince is often seen as the future ruler while the princess is often seen as a walking womb to birth the future ruler.

  • She's not the heir to the throne. That's why she's grumpy

  • @Valorum she is the crown princess, making her the legitimate heir, the problem is that because she is a woman it is nothing more then a title and that her future husband will be the one holding power not her.
