Lorde’s song, Royals, had us convinced that ‘we’ll never be royals, coz it don’t run in our blood’. But then, how can we simply trash the classic fairy tale logic!? We just can’t get over the idea of a prince charming (any day better than a knight in shining armor) who’ll come riding a white horse and everything will be happy ever after. Can we?

“We’ll never be royals” – Lorde

And by ‘happily ever after’, we mean a royal palace, fancy titles (seriously, how’s a Duchess different from a Princess?), global attention, a huge and complicated family legacy and of course love, lots of love.
