THERE is a real Snow White — and like the classic fairytale heroine she is treated as a princess by her loved ones.
Snow-White Jennifer Morphy is believed to be the only person in the world named after the character.

The five-year-old from Northampton is very happy about it — having a big bedroom image of the young royal-turned-scullery maid from the 1937 animated Disney movie.
Mum Lisa, 45, said she picked the name because after having three boys she had wanted a daughter — but feared she was unable to have any more kids.
She told The Sun: “I told my husband, I never thought I’d be able to have her, so she’s going to be a princess.
“I’d had three boys, and I didn’t think I could have any more children. So when she came along I said to my husband, ‘Oh my God, finally a girl!’.
“Her whole bedroom is catered for her, she has a massive mural on her back wall with Snow White on it.
“I just had this thing that made me want to have a little girl and there she was. So I’ve always thought of her as a princess anyway.”
Hospital staff checked she could legally have the name and found it had not been copyrighted.
But some people are grumpy about the name.
Lisa said: “When we go to the airport and we travel a little bit, we always get questions like, ‘Oh, is that like her real name?’ ”
Snow-White wants to grow up to star as the famous princess, either on stage or on screen.
She is also not bashful about it — often telling pals or teachers “Snow-White is my name” if they try and shorten it.
But she may have a long wait for another Snow White movie to be made, after the controversy of the live action remake, released at UK cinemas yesterday.
The film, starring Rachel Zegler in the title role, has been slammed for being “woke” and also for changing some of the original plot lines.
