There doesn’t seem to be a Wikipedia entry for you Princess Elisabeth and there probably should be, I would be happy to work on one, is that something you would like to have? If so, maybe you can take a look briefly when it’s done (I will post here) and check facts, etc. A photo is always good on the article page if you have a good one. Hoping this will be considered OK.

I suppose princesses are ordinary people underneath, but there are probably a lot of layers of non-ordinariness and “abnoramility” on top of that? Not sure if this matters, I suppose, I wonder if these things create barriers that are insurmountable and therefore most people do not attempt to cross them. Certainly with the English class system that often seems to be how things function, although I admire some of the young Royals for often working to cross that now.

I think some people reading your blog will be curious as to why you do sometimes go economy or have to meet people about renting a flat – these don’t sound like princessy things to be doing!

Thank you again for responding, I feel very thrilled to be conversing with a real life Thurn Und Taxis.

This is a nice blog, Princess Elisabeth does not seem too horribly spoiled (she has to fly economy sometimes by the sound of it) and whilst she obviously has a pretty cool and far-out lifestyle for a young person by any standards, seems to be an OK person.

I would love to hear more about her upbringing, what it was like being from a rich and aristocratic family at school and when first meeting “normal” people, etc. Does she feel detached from “ordinaries” like us and if so how we can use this blog to bring her back to normality! Does she feel curious about ordinaries and their humdrum existences?

Great fun anyway and I guess if I’m honest I feel very jealous but there you go – we can’t all come from a castle and jet nonstop from one party to the next.
