Description
Every once in a while, life calls for tiaras, sparkles, gowns, and a bit of royal treatment. That’s exactly what National Princess Week – April 20-26 is all about! Whether you're channeling your inner Cinderella or just need a reason to treat yourself like royalty, this week is the perfect excuse to feel extra special.
History
It’s First Recorded celebration was in 2012, created by Julie Andrews, yes, the Julie Andrews (a real-life queen in our eyes), along with Target and Walden Media. They launched this magical week to promote reading, creativity, and the timeless charm of princess stories.
Julie Andrews, by the way, played Queen Clarisse in The Princess Diaries—so when we say royalty was involved in starting this, we mean it!
And while A Woman of Royal Birth traditionally defines a princess, this celebration welcomes anyone with a kind heart, strong will, and a flair for elegance.
Can we really talk about princesses without talking about Disney?
The First Disney Princess Movie was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, released in 1937. Snow White became the face of Disney royalty and kicked off what would become a global princess craze. Since then, we've met Cinderella, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Mulan, Tiana, and so many more.
How To Celebrate
Ready to make this week the most magical one yet? Here’s how to dive into National Princess Week like a true royal:
1. Host a Princess Movie Marathon
Line up your favorites. From Frozen to Brave, let each night be ruled by a different Disney heroine.
2. Dress the Part
Bust out that tiara collecting dust in your drawer. Or make one with glitter and glue! Don’t forget the gown—or cozy princess PJs.
3. Read a Fairytale Book
Revisit classic stories or discover new ones. Julie Andrews even has her own children’s books worth checking out!
4. Have a Royal Tea Party
Tea, cookies, and a touch of royalty. Invite friends, family, or even stuffed animals to join.
