![]() ![]() And I certainly didn’t have princes lining up to marry me! So, I couldn’t possibly be a princess. I didn’t go to a fancy school or have maids waiting on me. I didn’t have nice dresses or jewels or a big house. ![]() I didn’t have blonde hair or blue eyes or a fair complexion. ![]() You see, I didn’t look like a princess, not the princesses I was introduced to. But I think the reason why I never wanted to pretend to be a princess was because that was a fantasy that was truly a fantasy, or at least I thought it to be. For starters, there was a serious lack of interesting things for princesses to do in their stories at the time (not your fault, but you understand sitting in a tower when there were dragons to encounter held no interest for me). I didn’t like to daydream of being a princess too loudly or too seriously. And sometimes, deep down inside of me, I dreamed of being a princess. I daydreamed I was a brave knight battling dragons, a wizard casting magic spells, a witch cooking up daring schemes, a Queen ruling her nation. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on the next one and the next and the next. I read many books of fantasy and fairy tales, and I loved them all. When I was just a little girl, I discovered fantasy fiction. Dear Her Serene and Royal Highness Princess Amethyst Alexandra Augusta Araminta Adelaide Aurelia Anne, the Ordinary Princess, ![]()
