Older Princesses

This article is very interesting because it shows what Princesses would be like if they were depicted as older. While the article is just plain cool, I thought of a new potentially problematic message that many Disney films could be implanting in the minds of young children. All Disney Princesses are young when they search for love, and all are young when they find it. They all get married extremely early, and seem to live happily ever after without any of the later years in life. This observation leads me to suggest that the message could be problematic. Does the search for love only occur during those young years? Does the search for love stop once you've reached a certain age, and is there a point where you can't be a princess anymore?
