Twitter is kvelling.
Disney has announced its first-ever Jewish princess, to be voiced by actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, aka Meadow from “The Sopranos.”
The character, whose name and image haven’t been announced yet, will guest star on the third season of “Elena of Avalor.” The hit children’s TV show is about a teenage royal princess and her adventures in monarchy.
“I am so excited to voice Disney’s first Jewish princess,” Sigler tweeted.
Her episode will air in December and be Hanukkah-themed. Sigler’s princess will be visiting from a Latino Jewish kingdom, leading some to believe that the character is also intended to be Latina.
Twitter users are pondering if the character would be of Ashkenazi or Sephardic background — since Sigler is both. Many were excited at the prospect of a Disney Hanukkah special.
“Growing up, Rugrats was my only Jewish holiday special,” wrote one fan. “I am so happy my daughter will get more representation.
“It’s about time there were more Chanukah specials on,” commented another.
While Sigler will voice the first official Disney Jewish princess, one previous Disney character was also deemed by some to be Jewish royalty. Sarah Silverman made the case for Vanellope von Schweetz, the character she voiced in 2012’s “Wreck-It Ralph,” as being a member of the royal tribe.
Sigler, who lives with multiple sclerosis, played the role of Tony and Carmela Soprano’s daughter on the classic Italian mob show.
It is unclear if the princess she plays is also from New Jersey.
Other guest stars on the third season of “Elena of Avalor” include actor John Leguizamo, former WWE champion Roman Reigns and Rachel Brosnahan of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
The series’ third season premieres on Oct. 7 at 12:30 p.m. on the Disney Channel.
