What Does it Mean to Be a Princess?

A princess is a woman who has been born into royalty or married into it, or who is the daughter of a monarch. She may also be a woman who has achieved a great deal of success in business or entertainment or who has done much to help others. Princesses are usually admired and respected for their intelligence, beauty, kindness, and good manners. They are a role model for young women.

Many little girls dream of being princesses and enjoy dressing up in costumes and wearing crowns. But being a princess is about more than playing dress up. A true princess is kind and brave, she is confident and proud, and she always acts with integrity.

The world has changed a lot since the time when Princesses were commonplace. Today there are more opportunities for women than ever before and – thanks to people like Meghan Markle – our idea of what it means to be a princess has become a little bit different too.
