Trivia
- Since Nancy was going to become Morgan's stepmother at the beginning of the film, she was given the last name of Cinderella's stepmother from the 1950 film, Cinderella. But as a twist, Nancy is nothing like Lady Tremaine; she is kind, forgiving, generous, and selfless.
- Despite marrying a prince, Nancy is not an official Disney Princess, or at least not seen as one by many Disney fans.
- She is also the only "real world native" in the film to be seen in animated form.
- Idina Menzel, who portrays her, is also the voice of Elsa from Frozen, which makes Nancy her first of two roles as the voice of a princess and a queen in the Disney franchise.
- Ironically, Elsa says people cannot marry a man they just met, while Nancy, who is played by the same actress, did marry a man she just met.
- This role did not require any singing, which was an unusual role for Idina Menzel. According to Menzel, she was glad to be hired for the role just based on her acting talents.[1]
