Sleeping Beauty main character (Princess Aurora) is representend by two archtypes - both the maiden and princess (unless princes wasn't a typo for princess - then she is just a maiden)
In this fairy tale, the protagonist of the story would be considered a maiden. A maiden is a young, unmarried woman. This is a common archetype in literature. Fairytales often follow the formula of a damsel-in-distress. This is the case in this story as well. In this type of story, the maiden is placed in grave danger, and the only person who can save her is the handsome prince.
