The Grand Duke MBTI Personality Type
Personality

I truly thought he may have been an ISTJ before, but after learning more about functioning I believe he is more SiFe oriented. In Cinderella (1950) he continually showcased his high Fe through his sympathetic nature towards Prince Charming. During his first argument with the King he advised him to "remain patient" with Charming and "perhaps let him alone" to live his life as he wished without constrictions and pressure. Additionally he encouraged him to be more empathetic "in matters of love." When the King hoped to arrange the conditions where Charming could find a wife the Duke wanted to take no part in the scheme out of sympathy for the prince. After the ball when the King demanded that they bring in any girl who fit the slipper he didn't hesitate to share his dismay expressing, "But sire this slipper could fit any number of girls! No, no, no your highness. I will have nothing to do with it." He knew that this method could be used to trap Charming into marriage (purely satisfying the King's Fi desires) and he didn't align with that at all. The Grand Duke's arguments with the King mainly stemmed from the difference between his extroverted feeling and the King's introverted feeling. The Grand Duke does have a high sense of duty/responsibility due to his Si dom, but he is also incredibly considerate of others, not hesitating to refuse an order if possible because he does not agree with its insensitivity due to his Fe aux. If he was an Si and Fi user he would have a far greater sense of responsibility and prioritize it over empathy of others (especially when they are not present) and considering their potential reactions.
Biography
The Grand Duke is a supporting character in the 1950 Disney animated feature film, Cinderella. He is the King's prim, yet fussy majordomo who is charged with overseeing imperial matters, a job at which he is dutiful out of both loyalty to the crown, and fear of losing his head to the ill-tempered king.
