In Giambattista Basile’s tale (which is the actual origin of the Sleeping Beauty story), a king happens to walk by Sleeping Beauty’s castle and knock on the door.
When no one answers, he climbs up a ladder through a window. He finds the princess, and calls to her, but as she is unconscious, she does not wake up. he then carries her to the bed and rapes her. Then he just leaves.
She awakens after she gives birth because one of her twins sucks the flax (from the spindle) out of her finger.
