It took until 2009 for the first African-American Disney protagonist to appear onscreen, and before Brave ’s Merida could be inducted into the Disney Princess Hall of Fame, she had to get a girly makeover . Disney’s latest princess won’t have to change her appearance to hang out with the other girl, though that’s mainly because she looks almost indistinguishable from the company's second most recent princess, Rapunzel — who, come to think of it, bears a striking resemblance to Sleeping Beauty.

The US logged another 4 million or so vaccinations Friday, bringing the total doses administered in the country over 200 million at the time of writing.
