Fun (well, honestly kind of disturbing) fact: in the original novella, the reason the Prince got cursed to become a Beast was because he refused to marry/sleep with the Enchantress, who was also one of the women who raised him. His mother, the Queen, assumed he would be safe with a pair of fairies as guardians because most fairies consider themselves so far above Mere Humans that they wouldn't be tempted by his royal status.
