How to Behave as a Princess


Acting like a princess takes a little getting used to but it can be done. Think: Wealth, pageantry, gorgeous clothing, palaces, fantastic communication skills, kindness towards others and an ability to charm, impress and greet people. Behaving the way that a real princess would mean beingthoughtful, gracious and charitable. Consider Princess Diana or Princess Mary of Denmark. These ladies do not epitomize girls strutting around acting more superior than anybody else. These refined ladies care about their subjects, do not objectify anybody and run massive households with the skill and accuracy of a sharp shooter. If you really want to act like a princess, you need to besmart, kind and elegant. Think you can do this? Well, let's try!
Be gracious, polite and patient. You always want to hear what everyone you meet has to say. Your manners and innate sense of refinement are what separate you from 'new money'
Dress elegantly and with refinement. Quite self-evident. Nothing tacky, overly revealing or inappropriate. Hats, pastels and family jewels are all good. Pick a local designer and champion them. Shop ethically.
Set a trend. Make others want to dress like you and be like you just by being an independent, elegant and sensible person. Know your own mind and stick to your principles while respecting the opinions of others.
Be well groomed. Daily hygiene is a must, but there is no need to be a little madam and deal damage to your credit card like a bull in a china shop. Just find some great handmade cosmetics and let nature make you as beautiful as you are.
Act like a lady. Always be a lady. This means sitting up straight and walking tall. It means using decorum and respecting yourself.
Be confident. So look at the mirror and tell yourself you're beautiful and smart. You really are.
Be gracious. Life is a precious gift. Use it wisely and well. Be grateful for all the good things that you have and be gracious toward all the people who do kind and good things for you. Be gracious also when others fail your standards and do not judge them. Remember that you may meet the people you disdained on the way up if you ever fall down and people remember. Always be nice.
Engage others and communicate well. Really listen to what others have to say and reflect their interests in your conversation. Do not assume that everything you have to say is of interest to other people. Keep it light and simple.
Be carefree but considerate. You are entitled to feel as free as the wind but you must also be considerate of the needs and wants of other people too. Balance your carefree nature with consideration for others in all that you do and you will have a great life.
Be thoughtful of your parents. They are, after all, the king and the queen and probably you will need the benefit of their expertise.
Be loyal to your friends and be sincere to your acquaintances. Everybody is important to a princess and everybody is valued by a princess. Your friends are a treasure for life, so guard them well. They are more important than all the treasures in your jewelry box. And be sincere with all people - it does show and you will glow for it.
Be you at home and more formal in public. Your home persona can let its hair down a little bit. But a princess in public is always on show - best manners, best behavior and goodwill wherever you go.
Hold elegant dinner parties. Everybody likes a well-hosted dinner party with a kind and gracious host. Besides, you'll probably get flowers and gifts and every princess likes that.
Be charitable. Share some of your time doing volunteer work. Every princess must have time to help the needy.
