I had the honor and privilege to get to sit with Princess Hope and ask her some questions! I hope you enjoy.

Welcome, Your Highness! I’m so honored to be able to sit and talk with you. Let’s get started with these questions. What do you do find to be the hardest thing about being royalty?

I think one of the hardest parts about living in this family are the assumptions and judgments people make toward us. It’s easy to stand on the outside looking in, and think you know enough to blast your opinions about this or that, but our citizens must remember that things are not always as they appear to be. We live in an age where it’s so easy for anyone to spread their opinions all over the internet and report false information as so-called “truth:”. It is hurtful when people spread rumors and lies, but I think our family just experiences a dramatic version of what everyone on this planet endures. It is everyone’s responsibility, especially in the age of social media, to refrain from judging one another, talking about matters we know nothing about, and spreading gossip. If we do so, I think the world would be a much happier place!

What’s one of the wackiest stories the press has written about you?

Oh dear! I’ve seen some real doozy’s! I think I probably get my biggest laughs out of the daily updates on who myself or my sisters are currently “Dating”. I remember one instance, within the span of a single week, all three of us girls supposedly swapped the same boyfriend while in Paris for a photo-shoot. As I read the article, Bridget laughed so hard, she almost choked on her lemon water! Another memorable one was how our little brother Willie isn’t really our brother, that we’d adopted him from Ireland as an infant because of some sort of political move on my Father’s behalf.  Sometimes the media can get so utterly ridiculous, all we can do is laugh it off.

Which Disney Princess is your favorite?

I really like Pocahontas. I find the real Pocahontas, you know, the famous historical figure, so inspiring! She extended much love and kindness toward the settlers who desired to establish the American Colonies, and instead of getting offended with the strangers, she extended much grace and helped them survive the winter. Her acts of love and patience, despite the fact that these men were so strange and different from her, are very inspiring to me.

Tea, coffee or hot chocolate?

Hot chocolate!
If you had a say, what’s one thing about living at the palace that you would change? Oh, that’s a very good question. But honestly, I don’t think I would change a thing. I think my Mother did an amazing job establishing such a strong sense of comfort and homey-ness within our palace walls, both with her decor and the balance of our family schedule, that even after her passing, we’ve continued to honor her traditions. Life in the palace just feels “right”, so no, I don’t think I would change anything at all.

Go-to dance song?

Oooh! Well, I’m not a very good dancer, but I do enjoy “No Excuses Just Dance with Me” by Lavender Jupiter. It’s a family favorite for karaoke night, haha!

Of all the places you’ve traveled, which was your favorite?

Oh wow, that’s a tough one! I love going to France! I also love vacationing in The Caribbean, and visiting the States is always such a blast as well. Ahh, so hard! But I think Paris will always be a top favorite.

What’s one must-have trait for a potential boyfriend?

Hmm…purpose and integrity are very important to me. I could never quite envision myself giving the time of day to someone who doesn’t know why they’re on this earth, or have a reason for doing the things they’re doing. Passion, energy, and a determination to make the world a better place are all very attractive traits.

If you had the ability to travel in time, which period of time would you travel, and why?

I think I would travel to the early nineteen-hundreds! High fashion was so exciting at that point, I would’ve loved tooling around in a massive hoop skirt, and trying on a bunch of fancy hats! Plus, all the guys were total gentlemen, and the era just has such a romantic essence of sophistication to it! Sign me up!

Pineapple on pizza, yes or no?

Eh, not so much.

Name one of your favorite Bible verses.

Hebrew 6:19. My mother always said this was “my” verse. She said it’s the reason she and Daddy gave me the name Hope. “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure…” It’s from the passage which talks about Jesus, our High Priest, and how He has broken down the veil, the barrier of sin between us and our Heavenly Father. Mother always said she believed my destiny was to bring hope to this world, and for me, I know the hope I carry comes from one place. It can only be found in Jesus Christ.

That is SO Sweet!

Well, thank you SO MUCH, Your Highness, for answering all my questions. This was a great experience, and I won’t forget it.
