If only I were born a PRINCESS…

Considering how hard it is to make a big ascent from one socioeconomic level to another, many sometimes just wish, as a form of an escapist dream of an expression of discontent, that they were born to a royal family, having blood relations with reigning king or queen of a certain kingdom or monarchy. Indeed, for who would not want to be one? The honor, prestige, and wealth of royalty all come with “ascribed status”, that which is automatically assigned by society, by virtue of consanguinity, regardless of ability- hence, by ones royal blood, not necessarily by his hard works sweat.

If such a dream is too impossible, others would settle for, though also rarely probable, having thighs with the royalty trough marriage. Numerous fiction films have made use of this plot and have sold time and again especially as they cater to viewers who somehow fantasize of having a “Cinderella-like fate. Undeniably, many, if not all, would want to have a taste of the perks that come along with being a royal.

So how would you feel if you find out that you’re a legitimate son or daughter of a king? Would you not feel so delighted and treasure it very much? Don’t be surprised because you might just be.
