tooâ¦like being kind to those who are less fortunate than you, and
being socially aware. This type of thing is called
Character.
You donât have to have been born royal to
have good character. In fact, I know a bunch of people who arenât in the least
bit royal who have a lot of very princesslike qualities.
They,
like me, are striving to achieve self-actualization. How do you achieve
self-actualization? Well, here are some tips that might help you along your
way.

HOW TO
MAKE A FRIEND
by Hank Thermopolis, male
supermodel and recent transplant to New York City from Versailles,
Indiana
So you are starting at a new
school/modeling agency and you donât know anyone. That ainât an excuse to just
go sit in a corner by yourself! The only way youâre gonna make friends is to
beâ¦well, friendly! Smile at people. Say howdy. Donât butt in on anybodyâs
private conversation, but if you overhear a group of folks talkinâ about a
movie you just saw, say, âHey! I saw that! Wasnât it cool when that giant alien
bit off that guyâs head?â or something like that.
If
youâre one of them shy types, try this: Find another shy type. When sheâs off
by herself with her head stuck in a library book, go up to her and be all,
âHowdy, Iâm new here. Can you tell me where the portfolio drop-off is?â Sure,
she might tell you to get lost. But chances are she wonât. Then youâve just
made a friend!
Remember, making friends is only part of it. You
have to keep âem, too. How do you do this, you ask? Well, by being loyal, never
betraying âem, and not forgettinâ âem, even after thereâs a giant billboard of
you half-nekked in Times Square.
BE A SPORT
by His Royal Highness Prince René Phillipe August Giovanni
Thereâs more to good sportsmanship than just being a good
athlete. You also have to set a good example for others (if youâve had the good
fortune to be born a royal prince like me, anyway). This means not being a sore
loser. Royals never throw temper tantrums on the playing field, accuse others
of cheating, or throw their polo mallets when they lose. They accept defeat
graciously, giving the winner a handshake and a sincere, âGood game.â Princes
donât complain about the condition of the playing field or a decision from the
ref, however warranted such complaints might be.
When a
prince wins a game, he never gloats, does a special dance when he scores a
goal, or sings rude songs about the losers. A good winner always acknowledges
his opponentâs effort, and remembers that he himself could easily be in the
loserâs place.
Whether skiing, sailing in a regatta, or merely
playing a game of billiards in the palace game room, a prince always plays his
best, is enthusiastic, and tries to have a good timeâno matter how badly he
might be losing.
HOW TO BE A GOOD
SPECTATOR
by Lilly Moscovitz, avid
moviegoer and girlfriend of a mouth breather
Letâs face it: there is NOTHING more annoying than paying your
ten dollars (more if you live in Canada or have purchased popcorn and soda) and
sitting down in a movie theater, only to have the people behind you talk loudly
or kick your chair all through the feature. This is NOT princess behavior. It
is not even human behavior.
When people
gather together in a public place to
