<P> When Elsa turns twenty - one , she is to be crowned queen of Arendelle . She is terrified that the kingdom 's citizens might find out about her powers and fear her . The castle gates open to the public and visiting dignitaries for the first time in years . Amongst them is the scheming Duke of Weselton , and the dashing Prince Hans of the Southern Isles , with whom Anna falls head - over-heels in love . Elsa 's coronation happens without a hitch , but she still remains distant from Anna . When Hans proposes to Anna , Elsa objects , accidentally unleashing her powers before the court . The Duke brands her a monster . Elsa flees to the North Mountain , where she throws out her crown and builds a palace of ice in which to live a solitary life . In the process , however , her suppressed magic engulfs Arendelle in an eternal winter . </P>
