Why is it that little girls want to be a princess not a queen?

Question

i was at my baby cousing 1st birthday and everything was princess this and princess that and im thinking, why not queen?

Answer 1

Who knows and why does it matter?

Answer 2

Princesses are usually younger and don't have all the responsibilities...oh and they get the handsome prince too :)

Answer 3

Queens are old and haggered,,just look at ours

Answer 4

The word princess has attached to it images of youth, beauty, magic, prince charming... A queen meanwhile is grown, possibly old, and not carefree.

Answer 5

queen got too many responsibilities

Answer 6

Because "being a princess means you get to meet a real prince"

Answer 7

because they r little!!

Answer 8

I think it's because Princeses, are *most of the time spoiled, and treated nicely*

I never wanted to be a princes when I was little, I always wanted to be a karate kid, or a special agent, someone that would help people put away the bad guys...lol..

I was a *little girl, with big dreams* lol

Answer 9

so they can meet their knight and shining armor

although i think there to young to be thinking about the that kind of stuff

Answer 10

The "Queen" is always assumed to be older. teh princess however, is always young, beautiful, desirable ...etc (just look at all those disney stories)

Answer 11

It's a natural progression ie from princess to Queen.Also,there may be other queens at the party and they may not accept an addition to their rank.

Answer 12

Because princess can be a child, queen would have to be married.

Answer 13

because when you think of a princess you think of a younger girl, and when you think of a queen you think of a grown woman.

Answer 14

"Princess" is a commercialized image of young and beautiful girls who marries their equally handsome young prince, while the image of a “Queen” was portrayed as an old woman (like a grandmother figure) in most Disney films and other cartoons. In numerous children cartoons, a Queen is usually old, evil and mean while a Princess is young, beautiful, innocent, very kind to others.  Which is pretty obvious that the "princess" image appeals to the younger audiences more than the image of their grandmother or an evil person.

Answer 15

Probably because a queen is usually married, and to an old man...

A princess gets to be royalty, spoiled, and usually pretty.

Answer 16

Disney.... they are all princesses throughout the movie and marketed as princesses.

Plus, in my generation, the only queen we really hear a lot about is Queen Elizabeth and she is sorta old lol, where as we hear a lot about Princess Di and she was young and hip and all that.

Answer 17

There are many little girl princesses, and not many little girl queens (Mary of Scots being the only child queen I can think of). Plus, queens have to rule their country-the appearance is that princesses are cosseted and spoiled. And really, who doesn't dream of being spoiled?

Answer 18

Queens have too much responsibility.

Answer 19

just look at Elizabeth 1, Elizabeth 2, Victoria & the other eauropean queens...not exactly stunners were they?? Most queens in story books are cows.
