I'm feeling a little dense asking this AG, but when you said "He probably got to learn more when he became a prince," are you referring to after Aladdin and Jasmine tied the knot, and before Aladdin ascended the throne?

The way I see it is when Aladdin and Jasmine became engaged, that's all that happened. They were engaged. She was still the princess and he was just her boyfriend. No one gives Aladdin any type of royal treatment or address him with any type of titles when they go anywhere, so that says to me he doesn't have the status yet.

After they get married, however, I think he became a prince. Disney seems to go along with that as a lot of the books and even some merchandise states as much. I don't think he becomes sultan until after the current one dies or steps down, so when I said I think "he probably got to learn more when he became a prince," I meant once he officially becomes part of the family, he has more open to him and thus he gets to learn more. I don't think the sultan or Jasmine has excluded him from much when it comes to the workings of military operations or royal affairs when they can help it, but now it'll be a mandatory thing instead of a come and go as you please situation. He was offered the job of royal vizier, which is ridiculous, but he probably should have taken it as it would have helped in the long run Laughing

. He's always helped out, though, as if he was one so it wouldn't be too big of a change.
