No, not officially. Billie is the lead character in Disney Animation's Hexed, but Disney has not announced her as a member of the Disney Princess lineup. People are calling her a new princess because she is a young female lead in a major Disney animated movie, not because the company has given her that title.
Disney's official Hexed page describes Billie as an impulsive and unconventional teenager who discovers secret magical abilities. It calls her a teenager and a witch. It does not call her a princess, and the story information released so far does not say that she comes from a royal family.
Hailee Steinfeld voices Billie, while Rashida Jones voices her cautious mother, Alice. Their adventure takes them from suburbia into Hexe, a hidden world of witches. Disney says the two uncover family mysteries that could change that world, so the movie appears to be built around magic, family, and Billie's identity rather than a royal story.
What Disney Has Actually Confirmed
Hexed opens in theaters on November 25, 2026. Fawn Veerasunthorn and Jason Hand direct the movie, with Josie Trinidad serving as co-director. Tracey Ullman voices an enchanted feather pen named Ms. Quill, and Stephen Fry voices the magical journal Elias Quire. Those details are official. A Disney Princess announcement is not.
Disney's current official Princess website lists 13 characters: Moana, Rapunzel, Tiana, Ariel, Cinderella, Jasmine, Belle, Snow White, Aurora, Mulan, Merida, Pocahontas, and Raya. Billie is not on that list as of August 5, 2026. Raya remains the newest character included on the official site.
This can be confusing because people often use 'Disney princess' as a general name for almost any young Disney heroine. Anna and Elsa are royal characters, and Mirabel and Asha lead recent Disney Animation movies, but none of them appears in the current 13-character list. Being popular, magical, or even royal does not automatically place someone inside the Disney Princess brand.
The official group is also not a ranking of Disney's best or most successful heroines. It is a shared brand that brings characters from separate films into the same products, books, events, and park appearances. A character can remain outside that group and still be one of Disney's most recognizable faces. Frozen is the clearest example: Anna and Elsa are absent from the current Princess page, but their movies and characters are still promoted around the world.
For Billie, this means the wording used by Disney is more useful than assumptions based on her appearance. Her official biography focuses on her personality, her powers, and her relationship with Alice. There is no crown, kingdom, or royal title in the material released so far. The movie may reveal more about her family, but it would be wrong to turn an unrevealed mystery into proof that she is secretly a princess.
Could Billie Join the Lineup Later?
She could, but there is no confirmation. Disney sometimes decides how a character will be marketed after audiences have had time to meet her. Hexed is still months away, so Billie has not yet had a theatrical release, a full public story, or the years of merchandise and appearances that usually shape how people see a Disney character.
Billie does have several qualities that make the comparison understandable. She is the center of an original Walt Disney Animation Studios movie, she has a clear visual identity, and her story gives her a magical world of her own. The directors have also spoken about making her imperfect and relatable instead of presenting her as someone who always knows what to do.
Still, those similarities are not an official promise. Disney may choose to keep Hexed as its own brand, just as some other animated hits stand apart from the Princess group. The company could also add Billie later if the movie connects with families and the character fits its plans. Right now, either outcome is possible.
There is no public application or automatic rule that fans can use to predict the choice. Disney has included characters who are not born royal and excluded others who are. The final decision belongs to the company, and it is normally reflected through official character pages, merchandise, events, and direct announcements rather than an online nickname becoming popular.
Until one of those signs appears, articles and social posts should keep the distinction clear. Calling Billie 'Disney's new princess' can work as casual fan language. Calling her the newest official Disney Princess would state something Disney has not confirmed. The difference is small in conversation, but it changes the factual answer.
For anyone searching for Disney's new princess, the simple answer is this: Billie is Disney's newest animated heroine, but she is not its newest official Princess. Fans can already treat her like one if they want. Disney has not done so yet.
