To think that this should not be every little girl's dream?

[IForgotMyPencil]

Just been watching the 6 o'clock news on the BBC, where Fiona Bruce claimed it was "every little girl's dream" to be able to write her occupation as "Princess". Following on from the Duchess of Cambridge entering "Princess of the UK" as her occupation when registering her son's birth. Am I being unreasonable to think that there are other things little girl's should aspire to be? And for that matter, the BBC should not be enforcing the stereotype that all little girls want to be princesses!

Yes, but that's a token. He apparently has personal wealth of up to £12 million, and a father with a far larger pot of assets / income. Where does all of that come from?

Also, why, when you consider this wealth, is the taxpayer paying for the £1 million refurbishment of Will and Kate's flat (as well as other royal excesses - HUGE amounts on their travels):

Compos - apparently the Queen offered to give Mark Phillips a title, and again to give their children titles, but Anne refused. Princess Margaret's husband was a commoner but was made Lord Snowden on marriage so their children have titles.

My dd has wanted to be a fairy, Prime Minister, a vet, a doctor, a spy, someone who works in an office and has Earl Grey tea brought into them and yes at some point a princess. I'm not going to overthink things at this stage.

Oh blah blah blah blah

MrsKoala I told my teacher I wanted to be a page 3 girl too
In my defence it was around the time Sam Fox was very popular and I just thought she was amazing. She was all happy and smiley with a song in the charts so I thought that looked like a good thing to do

I'm not a page 3 girl. Or a pop star.

The fact that they are effectively partly living off handouts we fund and partly off inherited wealth of dubious origin while people are having to go to food banks to eat, is a contradiction worth mentioning...

I know they do their bit to contribute, but that doesn't change the fact that they are ridiculously over-privileged and (in my opinion ) an anachronism.

My dh filled in a form last year

I am 38 and would love to be a princess when I grow up.

I'm 33 and would like to be a child prodigy when I grow up.
