Jan 26 Malou - a girl who was not born to be a princess

Princess Malou Estee Anwen was born in late January in a country that lies far, far in the North. That night the sky was studded with thousands of twinkling stars and the moon was very, very high. The face of the newborn girl, brightened by the moonlight and reflection from the snow, seemed so beautiful and calm.
Since it’s very unlikely that her father will ever become King (because of a long line of uncles) or that she will ever inherit the title of Queen, Malou is free to do what she pleases. In other words, she fully enjoys her life! She lives in a small house in the woods, and not in a castle, she likes to play outside and get messy, she loves to climb trees, and to read books, while sipping chamomile tea by the fire.... The trees, the birds, and her parents adore this little girl!

But sometimes Malou puts on her fancy starry dress, made by her grandmother, a cashmere sweater, warm long socks and shearling boots, and dreams of a handsome prince whom she will one day possibly marry and live with happily ever after.
