Somebodybends is onto a good point.

Pardons aside, their decision to allow their daughter to marry Eugene without taking the reaction of their allies into consideration is short-sighted. Pardoning is one thing; passing the title of King of Corona onto Eugene is another.

People in society tend to be wary of civilian ex-convicts because they think such people have a criminal thought pattern that can't be easily reconditioned; some of this is actually true if you key into criminology, so it would make sense for other kingdoms to balk at Corona's decison to let Eugene marry Rapunzel due to their ignorance of not knowing him as well as Rapunzel does. Who's to say their allies don't think Eugene is conning Corona by trading his doublet for a prince's silk smock? He'd have a lot more access to exploitation.

The same can be applied to Elsa of Frozen. Reasonably, these Disney characters and others in their position would have to prove themselves to foreign allies; I doubt the world abroad would be willing to trust them so easily, while some would probably fear the characters having relapses back into their darker days. So yeah, the parents not thinking about that is eh.
