Princess Prep Class

This week I found a interesting article that I found. This is the link:

This article was written last year. The article was written similarly at the time when Kate Middleton became engaged to Prince William. This article mainly talks about “Princess Prep” classes in London. Many girls are inspired by Kate Middleton’s fairytale and are yearning to become the next Cinderella. Shockingly, girls of eight years old want to enroll in such classes. In these classes, girls are taught how to walk like a princess, drink tea, ride horses, etc. The article mainly focuses on Jerramy Fine who is  a young girl that has enrolled in the class.

When I read this article, I was very shocked and amused by the fact that actual classes took place for girls to become the next Cinderella. Although I knew that there were a lot of girls wanting the life of Kate Middleton, I did not realize that girls wanted it this much. This incident just demonstrates the increasing number of girls wanting to achieve the life of a princess and wait for their princes. It shows that girls are becoming less independent and do not expect to succeed with their own knowledge and actions. This article just shows how society is turning girls to yearn for the fairytales instead of helping them realize that the lives of princesses are not the reality. Hence, it just demonstrates how young girls are becoming in some way weaker and weaker in society.
