Many have drawn comparisons between Rapunzel’s sheltered existence to the self-isolating and social distancing associated with coronavirus but here’s the weird bit.

The name of the kingdom where the story takes place is called Corona.

The kingdom also shares the same name as in the video game adaptation Kingdom Hearts.

The bizarre coincidence was spotted by a who shared a text conversation they had with a friend who pointed out that Rapunzel is “quarantined” in a town called Corona.
