[00:00.30]Being a Princess|[00:02.06] Sometimes, I think that I would like to be a princess.|[00:05.05] A princess would live in a palace|[00:07.48] and wear beautiful clothes.|[00:09.59] She would have servants to do chores for her,|[00:12.39] and she would probably marry a handsome prince.|[00:16.74] People would recognize her.|[00:19.11] They would wave to her as she drove by.|[00:21.66] It seems like it would be a lot of fun to be a princess.|[00:25.39] But maybe it wouldn't be so nice.|[00:28.94] Maybe it would be terrible to be recognized by everyone.|[00:33.66] Maybe a princess would feel|[00:35.84] like everyone was watching her.|[00:38.21] She would have to look nice every time|[00:39.76] she left the palace.|[00:42.12] There would always be people with cameras|[00:44.05] who wanted to take her picture.|[00:46.04] A princess would have no privacy.|[00:48.28] Even in her own palace there would be servants around,|[00:51.89] so she would never really be alone.|[00:54.57] If I were a princess,|[00:56.68] I would worry about security for my family.|[00:59.92] Sometimes, people who are in high positions|[01:03.58] are threatened by other people.|[01:06.26] That would be a worry.|[01:07.82] I'm not so sure|[01:09.62] that being a princess would be all that much fun.|[01:12.85] I think it might be better|[01:14.22] to be just a normal person like me.|[01:17.21] I don't have to worry|[01:18.14] about looking wonderful all the time.|[01:20.45] People don't follow me around and take my picture.|[01:23.55] Whenever you see a picture of a princess,|[01:25.42] she is smiling.|[01:27.41] I wonder if she is smiling on the inside,|[01:30.21] or just smiling for the camera.
