The Princesscore Dream is Really a Nightmare | ROYALS

The dream of being a Princess never dies in our culture. Stories of regal pomp and being swept away by a handsome Prince are still some of the first that today’s young girls encounter. And for adults, Princesscore continues to be a popular aesthetic on TikTok, proving that this dream lasts well into adolescence and beyond. What’s surprising about the enduring popularity of princesshood is that over the past few years, real life Princess fairytales have been exposed in the press as apparently pretty nightmarish realities: full of press intrusion, familial pressure, a lack of agency, gossip, scandal. So why does princesscore persist, for today’s adults and new generations?
