It’s every girl’s dream- to be a princess. They don’t have to marry into royalty (Kate M. is one of the lucky ones) to be one because they already are princesses in their mother’s eyes.
Just like tiaras and crowns, the love, care and adoration fit for a young royalty are passed on to the girls born in the family. The queen mother, so does the rest of the family, only want the best for her bundle of joy.
And all girls do grow up playing a princess role or two. They look up to their heroines choosing from the initial ensemble of popular blue bloods that was introduced to us way back then- Snow White, Cinderella and saved-by-a-royal-kiss Aurora, to the new era’s latest additions of royal debutants- fish-tailed Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, long-haired Rapunzel and frog-kissing Tiana, and emulate their characters. As the realm of animation breed more strong-willed daughters of monarchy with timeless beauties and eternal charm, the new and coming real world “princesses” will get to select who they want to be from a long line of tiara-wearing lasses in the celluloid world.
Generations of girls were princesses until they become mothers and the queens of their household, and eventually bear princesses of their own. Thus, the legacy of the fair ladies lives on….forevermore.
For these misses, it is no different. Munchin was Cinderalla in her time and saw the next generation of princesses in Marris and Micah who were Aurora and Jasmin. Today, the apples of everyone’s eyes, Sophie, 4, and Mischka, 3, are the new line of princesses in the clan and singing their theme songs in their castle.
