📜 National Princess Day History

We grew up with princesses, both animated and live-action, who served as guides in our lives. When we think of these beloved princesses, Disney immediately comes to mind. Surprisingly, Disney had little involvement in the creation of National Princess Day. It was actually Nest Family Entertainment, a Texas-based entertainment company, that collaborated with Rich Animation to produce The Swan Princess, a musical adaptation of Swan Lake, in 1994. The goal was to create a special day for people of all ages to celebrate like royalty, showcasing the kindness and grace associated with princesses at that time. And that’s how National Princess Day came to be.

The concept of a princess has evolved over time. In the past, from the 1930s to the 1990s, princesses were often depicted as damsels in distress who needed to be saved by a prince in order to live happily ever after. However, nowadays, princesses take charge of their own destinies, creating their own happy endings, rescuing the prince, and sometimes even choosing to live without the prince. So, to truly embody a princess on National Princess Day means to embody the greatest of all time.

National Princess Day encourages non-royal people to break out of their routines. Whatever you choose to celebrate, this day allows you to dress up, take charge, and be the heroine.
If your daily life is comparable to Cinderella’s before she meets the prince (you know, chores, having a boss like her horrible stepmother, and wearing old, shabby clothes), National Princess Day is the perfect opportunity to break the pattern. Put on your glass slippers and indulge yourself.
