No doubt you have heard of all the fuss surrounding the future wedding plans of Prince William to Kate Middleton in England. Is it possible then for any girl to marry a Prince? Technically it is of course, and although this wedding was not arranged the couple did meet at university. A Prince just doesn't go to any old university, he goes to one of the best. Namely St Andrews.
This is a posh university usually for people with loads of money. So the chances of you meeting your prince in Tescos, well is just a fairytale really. Of similar proportions to Cinderalla. So if you're waiting for Prince charming to beat your door down with a glass slipper don't wait up too long.
Princes generally marry into wealthy families or to suitors with an aristocratic connection. In some eastern countries the practices of arranged marriages are still rife, but wouldn't you rather marry for love than money? Would a couple of hundred million settle the equation?
Marrying into royalty does pose serious problems as well. The media pressure is unrelentless as Kate Middleton has certainly found out. You'll have no need to employ the latest search engine optimization techniques to get some media attention on the internet. There'll be that many media organizations breaking stories about your every move so you'll be all over Twitter, Facebook and Youtube every time you walk down the street. Sound like a nice life?
No more casual going to the shops or slipping out for a coffee. Although almost every modern girl would yearn to be so in the public spotlight, there is a certain etiquette a princess must undertake. Her career and ambitions usually place second fiddle to that of her husband. So no wild partying or racy pop career for aspiring princesses to be then. Having second thoughts?
On the plus side not every girl aspires to be a semi naked vulgar pop tart. Many are happy to play second fiddle to their family and ceremonial duties. Just think of the fabulous wedding video you will be having watched by over a billion people on the planet. Then there's the opportunity to use the platform for worthy causes such as the landmine campaign by Lady Diana.
