NEW YORK--()--Disney Publishing Worldwide lets girls around the world celebrate as Rapunzel becomes the 10th princess in the Disney Princess royal court. Disney Princess: Royal Party for Apple’s iPad app debuts today with crafts, stories, and more — just in time for Rapunzel’s royal celebration at Kensington Palace in London on October 2, 2011.

Disney Princess: Royal Party invites Disney Princess fans across the globe to take part in this sparkling, interactive celebration as Ariel, Aurora, Belle, Cinderella, Jasmine, Snow White and Tiana introduce Rapunzel to their enchanting world. Full of matching games, movie clips, a read-along, crafts, coloring, puzzles and digital stickers, Disney Princess: Royal Party offers a blend of activities as well as an easy-to-navigate interface as it invites families to take the celebration into their own homes by baking Tiana’s Special Cupcakes and creating their own replica of Rapunzel’s crown. In addition, girls can invite their friends to the Royal Party with customizable invitations and a shared digi-theater.

Disney will officially welcome Rapunzel as the 10th Disney Princess character at a high profile, star-studded celebration to take place in front of a global audience on Oct. 2, 2011. Kensington Palace, London, UK, was chosen by Disney as the perfect location for this magical welcoming ceremony of a Disney Princess, as it has been the home of many real life princesses over the centuries.
