A very busy week for Princesses

@palaceprincess (on Twitter) has written about a very busy week for Princesses and their Royal families over the past week.

Take a moment to read about the real life happenings in Royalty over the past week - there has been a lot going on! Also there are many photographs that would be of interest to Princess watchers everywhere.

Forget being a Princess?

Spending the day beachside with my brother-in-law and his partner, I saw a young girl running past me towards an amusement ride. Her t-shirt caught my attention!

It was a black T with white text that read:
"FORGET BEING A PRINCESS
I WANT TO BE A"

Now you understand why I was captivated. What on earth would a little girl want to be, if not a Princess?

As it turns out, nothing on earth really!

The final line on the T-shirt was written in blaring red :

"VAMPIRE"

With blood dripping down from the letters.

Is there a moral of the story? You tell me...

One in a million? Think again!

As of late 2010 the world population is approximately 6,864,100,000! Based on that number, you share your birthday with almost 19 million people from all around the world.

Thinking more locally, this means you share your birthday with 849,479 people in the United States, 169,885 British, 93,748 Canadians, 61,461 Australians, 224,116 Germans, 348,986 Japanese, a staggering 3,668,660 Chinese not to mention 3,251,151 people in India!

If you are lucky enough to have been born on February 29, you share your birthday with just 4,698,220 people from all around the world. That means that a mere 212,225 people in the United States, 15,355 Australians, and 23,421 Canadians share your lucky day.

How many of these do you think would feature Princess party games? While 19 million might seem daunting at first - imagine the wind if you could all blow out the candles together!

For the professional entertainers - how exciting is it to know there's nearly 19 million birthdays happening every day?

Teach your Princess about voting

Today we took the time to vote in our national elections - for us in Australia voting is compulsory. Naturally we took our kids along (as we do every election) to teach them the importance and responsibility that comes with the right to vote. Royalty isn't all about Princess party games you know, so take opportunities like this with your Princess and educate her about civil responsibilities.
