Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' attempt to strip Disney of self-governance have been thwarted by a document that invokes the British royal family.
Forget about Disney princesses. Mickey Mouse might have just proved who's the real king of Florida.used a legal clause that name checks King Charles III to apparently thwart Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis' attempt to strip the company of its self-governance power in the state.
While Disney remained quiet on the matter for months, it seems the House of Mouse had been hatching a plan to retain its control over the land within the outer limits of Orange and Osceola counties. The agreement includes a royal clause that dates back to 1692 in Britain and would extend its term limit for decades.
DeSantis replaced all of the Disney-allied board members with five Republicans on Feb. 27. It was only then that Disney's new binding agreement was discovered. Florida legislators have balked at the new agreement, vowing to find a legal way to repeal or void the document. However, Disney says all of its conduct was legal.
