The advantages of being royalty
Royalty. Just speaking the word brings jewel encrusted tiaras and white silk gloves instantly to mind. A princess has all she wants at her manicured fingertips, and is naturally destined to meet prince charming, fall in love, and live happily ever after. What more could you ask for? To wake underneath a silver canopy, slip into long, shimmery dresses and have countless handmaidens quietly making you beautiful...
Without question, you would reside in the highest, most romantic turret of your ancient castle, and would spend most of your day in voice and etiquette lessons--learning how to sit straight and sweep gracefully and purposefully into a room. The remainder of your day, you would either stare wistfully out your bedroom window, or climb down the long vines encircling the walls in a moment of unregretted weakness--at last touching the mossy ground in slippered feet and retreating into the cool shade of the surrounding forest. There (thanks to your voice lessons) you would sooner or later find true love and be swept away in fairy tale bliss. Not to mention the adventures you'd experience--gold-hoarding dragons, evil magicians, moldy dungeons and--have I mentioned prince charming?
Of course, on a serious note, the benefits of living in such an influential position are undeniable. The responsibility to your people, and the duty to your crown both hold potential advantage for you and your kingdom if held in high and honest regard.

yay, princess... although my dreamy side would absolutely love the romance of the whole deal, I would probably fing something to complain about: the food, the inablility to breathe in my dress, and where is prince charming???
