Well, I don't have kids -yet- but when I was younger, I loved pretending that I was the Queen of England. My middle name, which I go by, isn't royal at all, so I said I was Queen Anne (my first name). I was so little, that I didn't realize that there had really been a Queen Anne of England! Sometimes I would make my little brother (older brother wouldn't do it- to girly for him!) play with me too, as my servant, or when he was really young, as my baby. I thought of the poor thing as more of a doll than a human being I'm afraid!
I was an unusual child, my nephew is three- about the age where I started playing- and all he cares to do is play "trucks" and watch cartoons. Goodness, I must have been very unusual, because I bet he doesn't know that England is a country or that it has a Queen! He does know what princesses are, and he doesn't like them. He takes after his father- they're just for girls! (and for all the male royal fans, it's NOT just for girls!)
