What Princesses Should Know

What Princesses Should Know

   Princesses should know many things. In this blog post I want to cover some of these things. Here is a list of what basics princesses should learn:

Sewing

Cleaning

Cooking

Affairs of other nations outside her own

Reading

Writing

Dancing

Arithmetic

Drawing

   Princesses should learn to sew. Why? They need to know at least basic stitches to care for their garments. A lot of princesses don’t have their own hand maids, so they should learn to repair a rip, patch up a hole, and sew on a button.

   Princesses should learn to clean. Why? Princesses usually don’t want to be thought of as slobs. They should learn to clean off mirrors, sinks, bathtubs and showers, sweep and mop the floors, clean off windows, ceiling fans, and they should even learn to clean the toilet.

   A princess should learn how to cook. Why? If a princess is hungry, she should know how to make herself something to eat! It is an essential skill in life (Not to mention feeding Prince Charming or Knight in Shining Armor).

   A Princess should know the affairs of other nations outside her own. Why? It could change the future of your nation!

   A Princess should know how to read and read well. That means learning to pronounce big words and know their meanings.

   A Princess should know how to write. She should know how to write at least two ways, if not more. These two ways would include Print and Cursive. Yes, I said cursive; that way of writing you learned in third grade that you may have forgotten how to use. If available, a princess should learn to write in calligraphy.

   A Princess should learn how to dance. If not anything else, you should at least know how to do a basic waltz. Ballet, belly dancing, Irish Step, and Ballroom are other great dances to learn.

   A Princess should know how to do Arithmetic. Why? You don’t want to be the only one in your kingdom that doesn’t understand how to add or multiply do you? Besides, it comes in handy for counting your jewels!

   A Princess should know how to draw. Even if you can only draw a stick figure, at least you should know how to draw! And remember, practice makes perfect!

What advanced skills princesses should learn (in my opinion):

Embroidery

Swordplay

Archery

Horseback riding

How to use a computer

Other languages (Italian, French, Sign Language, Fan, Japanese, etc.)

How to use a fan

   Why should a Princess learn embroidery? It’s nice to be able to create beautiful things with your hands!

   Why should a Princess learn to swordplay? There may be a time that she is walking in the woods alone and a goblin attacks her!

   Why should a Princess learn archery? So she can hit the mark every time! It’s also good for picking off enemies at a distance. If you didn’t want to lug a bow around, you could learn to use a slingshot.

   Why should a Princess learn Horseback Riding? A princess needs to know how to control her steed.

   Why should a Princess learn to use a computer? So she can post on her blog, play games, and converse with people.

   Why should a Princess learn other languages? If a princess doesn’t know how to speak French when she is in France or Canada, she might become very lost. That is why it is needed to know how to speak other languages.

   Why should a Princess learn to use a fan? A Princess should learn to use a hand fan. Hand fans are quite charming and lovely. They are very useful too. If you get hot, you can fan yourself.

   If you can think of anymore things a princess should learn, leave a comment!

Purpose of the Crown

((Picture is not mine!))

Every princess should have a crown. Really, they should. A crown could be anything: An actual crown, a tiara, a wire circlet, a chain of flowers, a ribbon... The possibilities are endless! You could even use bark or twigs if you wanted!

The purpose of the crown is to show others that you are, in fact, a princess. Who these others may be, however, is up to you. Your citizens of your kingdom may be a crowd of adoring fans. It may be your family and friends. It may even be your group of stuffed animals. Whatever your crowd of people is, they will be sure to know that you are a princess.

A Kingdom of Your Own...

To be a princess, you must have a kingdom. It doesn't matter if it is small (i.e. your bedroom) or large (i.e. your whole house and land besides), you will need a kingdom. There is something called a micro-nation. This is a nation that is not recognized by other countries, but may be recognized by other micro-nations.

To make this kingdom, you must first choose a name. Something that you love, your name with and added -ia or -ville or something, or a random, made up name. Have fun with it.

Secondly, decide where your barriers end for your kingdom.

Thirdly, you must decide how it will be ruled. Will you make the final decisions or will someone else? Will there be a court to pass rules or laws through?

After this, you must design a flag. You could as design a coat of arms if you wanted.

Next, develop a motto. It can be in any language you like, but most are in Latin.

This is all I can think of at the moment. If you have any ideas, feel free to leave them in the comments!

Dressing as a Princess

   When you decide to accept your princess title, you will need to dress the part. As we speak, I, with the help of some other people, am making a style of clothing that will be beneficial to most any princess, no matter their body type or favorites.

Just some tips:

• Make sure your clothes are clean when you go other places, You don't want people thinking you're the princess of the slobs.
• If your clothes have tears or rips or are missing buttons, make sure you fix them!
• Keep your favorite clothes in good condition!

Acting the Part

   To be a princess, you must act like one. This means being kind, considerate, sweet, fair, and just. You shouldn't be mean or nasty to people around you. You should be modest. You shouldn't wear clothes that are too revealing.
   If you are mean to people, treat them as slaves, or hurt them, they won't see you as a princess. They will not respect you. If you are a vixen, you aren't really a princess, even if you think you are. Vixen's are spoiled brats who think they deserve EVERYTHING and whine and complain if everything isn't to their specifications. These girls aren't really princesses and you shouldn't every strive to be like them.
   If you wear skirts you should always keep your legs together if it is short. No one wants to see your panties, no matter how pretty they are. I recommend wearing shorts or bloomers under skirts, so if something happens and your skirt comes up (i.e. you fall, a wind blows your skirt up, etc.)
   When you aren't in your kingdom, remember you are an ambassador to your nation. Don't do anything rash unless people are forcing you to. Don't make a scene unless people are hurting you physically, mentally, or emotionally.
   And last but not least... BE YOUR SELF! Don't change who you are to please people, unless you are a vixen (then you may do all the changing you would like).

Ciao!

Becoming a Princess...

Most people think that to become a princess you have to be born one or have parents that rule a country. However, this is not true. There are several other ways to be a princess.

The first way you could be a princess is through your family line. Research your mother's maiden name and your father's last name. Ask your grandmothers about their last names before that got married. Try to get as many last names that were in your family as you can. Research all of them online. You could be related the the Queen of England! When you research your family tree, you'll never know what you'll find!

The second way is to start your own country. This country will be known as a micronation (look them up! They are cool!). The country I rule over is name the Kingdom of Dragonia.

The third is to know you are a princess. The bible says that girls are princesses because God (the King) is their father.


To become a princess, you should have a coronation. Get dressed up and coronate yourself. If people recognize you as a princess, have them coronate you. Get a tiara and wear it! Or a circlet or ribbon will work.
Treat your people with respect and rule wisely!

Welcome

This a is blog for all those princesses out there. All the girls who rule their own countries, secret or not. All the girls who didn't think they could be princess but have always wanted to...

I am HRH Princess Christy of Dragonia. I am the girl who writes this blog. I have always loved the idea of princesses and I believe almost all girls can be a princesses.

A few things about me:

• I love animals, especially horses. 
• I love Victorian and Lolita fashion. 
• My favorite eras are Victorian and Medieval.
• My favorite colors are purple, red, silver, blue, and black.
• I collect ribbons.
• I'm teaching myself to embroider and I know how to sew.

This blog is for me to share my royal princess life with and to provide help to other girls who want to become princesses. I'll write articles and how-to's as often as my life permits me to.

I'll write some more later!

Goodbye!
