Right now, it's not about the patriarchy, the monarchy, or some kind of oppressive role for women that involves being shackled to an inbred family and forced to produce heirs.

It speaks of dreams, and daydreams, in which a girl could go from ordinary (yes, I know Kate's parents are millionaires) to royal in the blink of an eye, and suddenly have the world — and a horse-drawn carriage — at her feet. A fantasy where love is all that matters! Where living happily ever after is inevitable. Also: Woodland creatures!
