You may be confusing the terms "Princess" (the title by birth or marriage) with "Disney Princess" (member of the franchise). Strangely enough, both are mutually exclusive: Eilonwy is a Princess (daughter of a King), but is NOT a Disney Princess (despite being a Disney character), while Mulan is NOT a Princess, but IS a DISNEY Princess (she is a bona fide member of the franchise.

Disney films, particularly the early ones, presume that "Happily Ever After" includes marriage by default. This means that Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora and Belle do marry their princes by the end of their respective filma even if it is not explicitly stated.
