Why Do Girls Want to be a Princess?
Posted on 11. Dec, 2009 by Administrator in Amerah's How to, Princess Amerah, Princess Amerah Videos
Prin·cess – (prĭn-sěs’) – noun – any woman or girl regarded as like a princess, as in being: graceful, accomplished, or outstanding in some way…
I think I figured out why, I – like many other girls and women – have such a drive to be like a Princess. Or in my case -and like Miss Jerramy Fine Author of “Some Day My Prince Will Come”- why I actually want to become a Princess.
Before I get to my thought, I want to tell you about why I am now writing about this very subject.
Tonight, I saw my post on Twitter that automatically posts every couple of weeks that says “Why do you think girls, and women want to feel like a Princess? Tell me what you think…” I have had some interesting responses to that question. Just today, a Dad (twitter name Dad_O) said “dunno but it sucks:” with a link to his blog where he says that he would never feed his young daughter’s drive to look up to Princesses because “it implies that the best way to be beautiful, stylish and wealthy is to be born into it” and that his daughter “clearly missed the boat to fame and fortune” by not being born royal.
While I do agree that it is wrong for a young girl to put herself down because she was not “Temporally” born with royal blood; I disagree that looking up to a Princess is a bad thing to do.
Princesses stand for poise, grace, beauty, being kind and polite, and most of all they know that they are noble and have great potential. They live up to their potential.
I think where most people get lost is in thinking only about the “things” a Princess owns and don’t stop to think about what a Princess stands for.
Sure, on the outside a Princess is usually beautiful, wears a beautiful gown, and lives in an extravagant castle; but the point I am trying to make is that you don’t have to have a certain lineage on Earth, or have all the fancy things a Princess is shown to have to feel like, or to be a Princess.
We as women have a true Divine Nature. We have the potential built right inside us to become Queens. And we all know, even if it is just a small inkling of a feeling, that we are a Princess, and have a “Royal Potential.”
You need to stop and think about what makes a person “Noble.”
Is it their Social Status? Or is it what they do for humanity?
Think about Princess Diana for example, Princess Diana, Princess of Whales was patroness or president over 100 social institutions and charitable organizations, she took her role as patron of the English National Ballet, the Leprosy Mission and the British AIDS Help seriously. As well as these she remained president of the children’s hospital Great Ormond Street and the Royal Marsden Hospital. To the many accolades which were given to Diana, belong the acceptance as Honorary Citizen of Northampton (1989) and the “Prize for Humanity”. (facts taken from http://www.princess-diana.com/diana/queenofhumanity.htm)
Does a person’s clothes or appearance make them royal? Or is it their example for supporting the good, wholesome things in life?
What kind of female role model would you want your daughter to look up to, if not a Princess?
Would you want them to look up to the movie stars who have become corrupt from their circumstance and social status?
A Princess is Modest, Kind, Educated and uses her influence to persuade people to do good in this world.
Isn’t that what you want for your daughter?
Here’s what Timothy Schenk, a Writer and illustrator of Children’s Books had to say in response to my post:
I agree with your blog. Here’s my take…
In their mother’s, little girls see everything they will be, not want to be; Powerful, strong, independent, organized, loving, and etc.
Their fathers represent everything they want their future husband to be; strong, kind, protective, loving, and brave.
No I am not saying little girls want to marry their dads. They idolize their dads and see them as a male role model.
As far as being rich it just means she wants to be secure. The marriage to a handsome prince represents daddy.
When a girl says she wants to live in a castle, really all she wants is to have a home of her own.
I really don’t think it has a lot to do with being rich, living in a castle, or being wed to a prince.
Little Girls see princesses as everything they want to be as future women, kind, gentle, loved, creative, yet powerful.

Amazing blog post, this is very similar to a site that I have.

I have a princess-themed blog (in honor of my many daughters’ love of being princesses), and I touch on this topic too. Being a “princess” is more about empowerment and confidence than about the actual title, money and possessions, and, as the character Sarah Crew in “A Little Princess” states, “Every girl is a princess.”
Little girls want to be Princesses because they love feeling beautiful and loved by others, and they dream magical dreams! When they meet Princess Amerah they see that if they work hard enough, and learn to be as beautiful inside as she is, those dreams can come true!
Princess Amerah,
We wanted to thank you once more for a most wonderful Princess party! It was even more fun this second time, because we got to see three of our granddaughters get the fondest wish of their hearts. You are simply amazing. So many people have made the comment that they expected to be charmed by you, but had no idea just how incredible you really turned out to be in person! Mothers watched in awe as their daughters sat in rapt attention; even little girls who can’t sit still for a moment, in most situations, were totally spellbound. You truly have a gift for working with children.
Isabella and Caitlin keep asking when we will have the “next” Princess Amerah party! You made their birthdays very special and magical! I love it that they wish they could have you visit every day, if possible. Their birthdays this year were oh so memorable, because of you!
