Would you date or marry a prince?

[Anonymous]

My good friend married a Prince. Nordic country. Wedding had paparazzi, but they lead a regular, pedestrian life. Both have day jobs. They live in an apartment.

Personally, I don't think I have it in me to live a life of strict protocol and intrusive press.

Like in the Mideast where there are princes?

that looks amazing

This guys would be the king of Italy if the people did not choose republic over monarchy in 1946…

And he’s happily married with kids.

I would marry him. I’ve always had a thing for good food trucks.

Depends on who it was. Definitely wouldn't marry Prince Albert of Monaco. Harry, yes.

My mother's Godmother was a princess, dowager at the time I knew her.

She had married a prince, but not a royal prince, and lived the life of an ordinary private citizen, albeit one with Gobelins tapestries on the walls of her sumptuous apartment, and was in the habit of giving me an envelope of cash as "a token of her affection" whenever I came to tea with my mother.

I was the kind of child that comes home full of dirt and bruises, but on these occasions, my mother made sure I was clean, dressed me in a little frock with shiny shoes, and attempted things with my hair. I remember balancing the fragile teacup expertly on my knee while munching on a delicious slice of pound cake. I knew not to talk unless spoken to, not to get up unless authorized, and not to touch anything unless invited to do so, and to thank the Princess when prompted by my mother. Back in the old days, people had walked backwards to take leave of my Grandfather, but these were modern times, and the Princess did not expect anything but modern manners.

I still love tapestries.

Considering they ended up with Berlusconi, it’s not clear it was the right call…

Just sayin

OP here: Who doesn't love a good tapestry?! But I'd honestly think I'd constantly feel like a bull in a china shop or museaum

Wherever I guess? Would you be more inclined to say yes or no if it was say Europe vs Mideast?

Crown Prince, no.
Other prince, it depends. For me, a lot would hinge on if I had to wear a different outfit every day. That would be hell

[Anonymous]

Only if I was in a Hallmark movie…

[Anonymous]

Absolutely!

No quite simply. I have status issues as in I need to feel high status and in a relationship - equal status - so a Prince wouldn't do it for me. Also it doesn't equate with "interesting, compassionate, joyful" it's just royal. That's dull.
