[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have many women (assuming mostly white) really grown up entertaining fantasies of marrying a prince?

I’m a black woman, in my late 30s—wanting to marry a prince never ever crossed my mind growing up.  (Actually, never wanted to get married or have kids, but that’s another story—and ended up married with a kid anyway :) ).  So not jealous at all about Markle marrying a prince, and have never followed news of British royals etc.—all the posts about her “game” and “snagging” a prince here surprise me.  I do think they look like a nice couple, and have been following this story a bit given the “controversy” she’s half black and American.

Is marrying a prince really a fantasy many of y’all have grown up with?  Or just the people posting here?

White women were raised on 60 years of Disney movies where the white girl meets and falls in love with her white Prince. So yeah, it's a fantasy they've entertained since childhood.

It wasn't until Aladdin in the late 90s that Disney made a romance fairy tail between two POC's.[/quote]
