There's also Mulan (not an actual princess, but eh) who had to get all gussied up just to serve tea

Swap one of the Cinderellas with this. Sexism that spans decades!

Oh lord, I'd never thought about how misogynistic the Disney princesses are. Gotta teach little girls that even princesses do the house cleaning.
At least in Princess and the Frog (bottom right) she chose to bust her ass working multiple jobs to save up to open her own restaurant.
Cinderella, and Tangled (posted in another comment here) are both princesses explicitly being made to work by evil women.
Newer content like Moana and Frozen features spunky adventurous princesses. No housework.
Snow White though? You're telling me you have a household of seven men and between all of them they can't spread out the work enough to properly keep a house? For shame.
I once volunteered on a farm where a bunch of migrant laborers worked 6/7 days a week and sent the money back home to their families -- and the shared kitchen/bathroom was just like in Snow White.
Since I was working less hours in exchange for room and board, I felt kind of bad for them and did some cleaning ... just like in Snow White.
Did you also marry a prince after eating a poisoned apple?
i like in princess and the frog when she makes the prince cut some vegetables and halfway through the first cut he sighs from exhaustion and starts sweating. made that joke all the time when cooking with my then gf
Funnily enough I've been thinking about doing a post on it in !womensstuff@piefed.blahaj.zone but where to start...
Tbf it's been a long time since I watched any movies with Disney princesses, but I'm pretty sure the ones I remember watching tended to reinforce stereotypes.
