I
couldn't find any information at all about why today would be
Princess Day—not even the flimsiest of excuses such as “Blah-blah
organization has deemed that, henceforth, March 3 to be Princess
Day.” But on at least two holiday lists, there it is – “March 3
– Princess Day.”
And
I thought, well, why not? Why not celebrate princesses?
There
are plenty of interesting real-life princesses such as Princess Mary
of Denmark, Princess Sirivannavari of Thailand, and Princess Sonam of
Bhutan. There are, of course, plenty of Disney princesses, ranging
from Snow White (whose film came out in 1938) to Elsa and Anna,
princesses in the 2013 film Frozen.
Two of the most famous princesses in the world are from the United Kingdom. Princess Di, right, sadly died in 1997.

Here
are a few of my favorite princess things:
The Princess Bride
– Surely you know this famous story of True Love, the Cliffs of
Insanity, the Dread Pirate Roberts, the Pit of Despair, and Rodents
of Unusual Size...right? If you do not know it, all I can say is:
Inconceivable!!!
And
then I would say, run, don't walk, and somehow purchase this movie
and watch it. Now!
The Princess Diaries
– I rather liked these books about an ordinary American girl named
Mia Thermopolis who discovers that she is actually a princess. But
there were a few times when I wanted to reach through the pages and
give Mia a little shake...I can't quite remember why. Too whiny,
maybe?
The Paper Bag Princess
– I always like a princess who can do the saving!
The Twelve Dancing Princesses
– There are many retellings of this and other Grimm fairy tales
that talk about princesses, but this is one of my favorites.

for these other animal-kingdom females is are:- sheep
- alligator
