A SPECIAL NOTE FROM PRINCE ARTHUR, DUKE OF
WELLINGBOURNE
I hate to tell you this, ladies, but if you’ve ever watched a Hollywood film
—or even worse—a made-for-TV movie about a royal family, you’ve
been served up a steaming plate of horseshit. I know, because I am the
Crown Prince of Avonia, but I’m not just speaking for myself. Several of
my closest friends are also princes or dukes from various countries around
the world. We’ve discussed it and we all agree—the film and romance book
industry has done us all a great disservice by setting up unrealistic
expectations of what it means to date and/or marry a member of the Royal
Family.
For example, if we met at a party, and you lost your shoe, I can tell you
with one hundred percent certainty that I will not be going door-to-door
trying to return it to you, no matter how beautiful you are. First of all, it’s a
shoe, so, you can easily slip over to the store for another pair. Second, if
you’re too stupid to realize you’re only wearing one shoe, you and I aren’t
going to exactly be long term. I might shag you if the opportunity arises,
but beyond that, we’re done.
If you were previously under the impression that I would chase you
down with your sweaty high heel on a pillow, then you may also be under
several other falsely held beliefs, such as the following:
That I wake to the sound of birds singing at my windowsill, am fed
breakfast in bed by a maid with a little white cap tied to her head (what are
those caps for, anyway?), then I lie about in the drawing room reading
books all morning whilst my sister, Princess Arabella, plays harp. I spend
my afternoons on a hunt with a gaggle of dukes, then dine on eight-course
dinners with women in glittery gowns and elbow-length gloves, after which
I retire to the library to smoke cigars and drink bourbon with other blue
bloods.
Other than the part about having crowns locked away in a vault,
servants sidling around all the time (who, by the way, provide enough jump
scares to make my life the reboot of Stephen King’s IT), and the stretch
limos, the movies have it dead wrong.
Here is my typical day: An alarm clock wakes me at precisely six
o’clock every morning except Sunday, when I am able to sleep in until
seven-thirty (lucky me). I then dress in gym clothes and do a one-hour
mixed marital arts training session with my head of security, Ollie, to keep
my body in top princely condition. I shower, eat breakfast at the kitchen
counter while I am briefed on my itinerary by my senior adviser, Vincent
