Dear Snow,

You have depicted an interesting picture of royal families' cultural background. Now I see that political future of princesses as well as their cultural past are essential factors in determining their education.

Since my knowledge of princess education is close to nothing, I want to know if you can make a big, big, big, big effort to name some characteristics of this education. Regardless of the factors mentioned above, I am supposing that there are common values or knowledge that all princesses share. Probably, you can talk about the Korean case or you may will to talk about other Asian monarchies cases. But please, mention some brief characteristics of princess education.

Best regards,

Luis Villegas.

: Luis, in part it depends upon what roles might
: be open to the princess - if becoming the
: monarch is possible, then that's one thing;
: if not, then the role is different.
: Certainly an appreciation of the culture of
: the people is paramount - royalty are
: conservative in the sense that they conserve
: the values and the history of their people,
: act almost as a living archive. In Asian
: royalty you hope to see the Confucian value
: of reciprocal responsibility well understood
: as well - in my opinion this was a failing
: of the European monarchies. One of my wife's
: recent ancestors, Queen Min of Korea, needed
: to understand the tensions amongst 4 foreign
: powers who were interested in the Korean
: peninsula and how to play them off against
: each other. So certainly a broad
: understanding of, as it were, national
: personality and ambition - what drives Japan
: or Russia's interest in Korea in the late
: 1800s.
