by the Duchess of Sussex
I LEFT the monarchy in the ultimate feminist act of telling my husband what to do. This is how to celebrate International Women’s Day by being independent and a princess.
Marry a prince
We’re all princesses really, and the best way to prove it is by bagging your very own royal. I know Andrew’s the only one available at the moment, but this family loves divorce so you never know when someone else will become free.
Be so beautiful that no one judges you for your looks
It’s easy: just be naturally very good-looking and have enough wealth for as many facials as you want. You’ll be judged even less if you have a spouse who’s not as attractive as you, and possibly ginger. He’ll make you seem less shallow, and you’ll look stunning by his side.
Influence your man so much he’ll leave his own family
Really, Harry doesn’t need a brother or a dad – it’s just a continuation of outdated patriarchal traditions. It would be anti-feminist for him to prioritise them over my female friends in Canada.
Show that you admire strong female decision-makers like the Queen
By sucking up to her a bit, I hope she’ll let me keep at least one of my tiaras. I refuse to be just another ‘shit hat’ princess like Beatrice and Eugenie.
Make a list of top female role models
I’m choosing Oprah Winfrey, Nicole Scherzinger, Kristen Bell – basically anyone who will boost my chances of getting voiceover work at Disney. Idina Menzel, I’m coming for your job, bitch. I mean, sister.
