stopped speaking to her parents even when they might have deserved it; and hangs out with Madonna. This girl already IS a princess.
Â
Â
YOU
Because who deserves it more? I mean, you know now that all it takes to be a princess (besides a country to rule) is kindness, confidence, observation of proper hygiene, generosity with your time, and consciousness of the environment⦠everything, really, that makes a model human being. Because in the end, thatâs all princesses really are: human beings, just like you. Only they happen to come with a crown.
Conclusion
A Note from
Her Royal Highness Princess Mia
Learning about the lives of other princesses has really helped me put things in perspective⦠like when I have a term paper due on the life cycle of the ice worm on the same day as Iâm expected to dine with the sultan of Brunei, and my hair is looking particularly triangular and I spilled hoisin sauce on my lap, I can just be all, âWell, this isnât really so bad, because look what Princess Aura, the daughter of Ming the Merciless, had to put up with,â and so on.
And it all just sort of falls into place.
Because the truth is, whatever your problems are, there is probably a princess somewhere in history or literature who has dealt with it before you, from whom you can learn valuable coping techniques. By following their examples, and incorporating random acts of princess into your daily life, you will not only be better prepared for your turn on the throne (should you ever happen to inherit one), but you will be that much closer to achieving self-actualization.
Because though it is true we are all unique and special individualsâlike snowflakes, only, you know, bigger and not frozenâthere is one thing we all have in common:
We think princesses rule.
And by applying what princesses have taught us, so can you!
About the Author and the Illustrator
Meg Cabot is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed Princess Diaries books, the first of which was made into the wildly popular Disney movie of the same name. Her other books for teens include All-American Girl, Haunted, Nicola and the Viscount, and Victoria and the Rogue. Meg frequently engages in random acts of princess, in preparation for her eventual ascension to the throne. In the meantime, she lives in New York City with her royal consort and a one-eyed cat named Henrietta, who is a sweet, delicate flower and would never do something as unprincesslike as eat a sock.
Â
Chesley McLaren âs work has graced the pages and windows of such fashionable clients as Vogue, InStyle, The New York Times, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Bergdorf Goodman. She debuted as an author/illustrator with Zat Cat!, A Haute Couture Tail and illustrated You Forgot Your Skirt, Amelia Bloomer! Though she admires many princesses throughout time, itâs really their fancy dresses with enormous, swishing petticoats that make her smile. Chesley resides in Manhattan with her royal consort and Monsieur Ãtoile, the original Zat Cat!
