Whereneverever Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 My DD wants to learn about real life princesses next year. Who are your favorite princesses from around the world, through history? Bonus if they aren't European. Thanks. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nd293 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 As of today it is Princess Shirley, for the simple reason that I never knew she existed. "Tributes have flooded in from around the world for Princess Shirley Casley of Hutt River, who died surrounded by family and friends at the weekend. The wife of self-proclaimed Prince Leonard Casley and matriarch of the Principality of Hutt River - a 75sqkm micro-nation about 600km north of Perth - died on Sunday morning, aged 84. .... The Casleys, a farming family, made history in 1970 when they declared their property a separate country to the rest of Australia in protest against the low wheat production quotas being imposed by the WA government. Under Australian law, the Commonwealth had two years to respond to the declaration and its failure to do so gave de facto autonomy to the principality on April 21, 1972." http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/wa/17938862/tributes-for-hutt-river-matriarch/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TechWife Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 I know you said history, but here's an idea. There are three young princesses in the Netherlands. Princess Catharina-Amalia is first in line to the throne. She's twelve - that might appeal to your daughter. Their father, Willem-Alexander recently ascended the throne. His mother abdicated and is now Princess Beatrix, which might be interesting to your daughter as a princess who was once queen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
