Dear Princess. Martha Louise, Mette Marit, Ragnhild, Victoria, Mary, Elizabeth, Madeleine, Lilian and Astrid....

and all the rest of beautiful you.


I am another simple artist in the world of performing arts, and my greatest passion is curiosity

and shearing of the things I learn. I am perhaps a humble journalist with an artistic expression.

I am at the bridge of a new curiosity, namely you your highness, the princess. I want to

understand as much as I can, about your role towards yourself and your people, toward your

history of myth, about the things you do and then the things media tells us, your ideas of the

future, your goals as a princess and your wishes for yourself…. Like a protrait I suppose.


Knowing the fact that I am a commoner, with little political or royal status, I imagine it will

take some time before I will have the “possibility” to meet you in person. So I decide to

start my project today, with the hopes and wishes, that some of you can join me later, and

help me tell the people; what it is all about, to be a princess today. Untill then, I will keep

you posted on this blogg, and keep you informed about my discoveries.


Warm greeting and love, Yours faithfully, Rudi Skotheim Jensen

A fictional dilemma of somewhat truth?


I would like to reflect a bit on the fiction parts of reality. If we are to become specialist on princesses, we should not forget the magic of reality, if there is such a distinction between the two. - What concern me, ever so much, is the fairytale aspects of the real princesses. Do they see the difference of their influential power; -to what can actually be obtained and what is the classical pure and wishful thinking? How do they cope with their limits, between fantasy and the reality, as a princess that is…

What you think you can do, and what can actually you do?
There is a series of though rushing through my tiny egg like head as I am thinking this, I quickly settle on that ; high ambitions usually settle for far less, and that in the end ; it is the intentions and the process that counts.

I lean back, and feel, -lets be honest with ourselves -, that no one are completely satisfied with such a quick answer popping up. A princess in need is a princess indeed!!!
Is it within the princess habit, to create unobtainable goals, such as saving the world, or only parts of the world, and in that case, what do they exclude? How do they decide on the realistic choices or the pure nonsense?

I will not set up a complete agenda concerning the numerous intentions and plans concerning our real princesses, as they tend to drift in quite many directions. Our fictional princess agenda on the other hand, is usually floating between marriages and fighting off an evil power… so for this time, I will exclude them. (have a look at the video clip to enjoy all the reasons of why.)

I resign, no i don’t really…. But if we could use all the money, claimed by the fictional “Princess industry” to push forward the wellness of the princesses of our real world, …. Perhaps some circle of fiction and reality could benefit from each other..

“The fairytale princess is one of the most profitable merchandise brands on earth. These products are just a handful of the 25,000 princess lines sold under the Disney brand alone; in the eight years since some marketing mastermind brought together six of the company's screen princesses, sales have reached $4.4 billion a year.”
