Inspired youngsters have been revealing all the brilliant things they would do if they were made King or Queen for the day – and our reigning monarch King Chas has some stiff competition
A ban on homework, ice cream for breakfast and free toys for everyone – that is what kids would decree if they were royal for a day.
A poll, of 1,000 kids aged six to 10, and their parents, also found other dream-day demands included filling swimming pools with bubble bath, turning schools into theme parks, making cartoons play all day on TV and choosing dinner every night. Taking a look at education, 34% would ban homework forever.
And 86% would declare a national fancy dress day. The research was commissioned by Disney Store, ahead of World Princess Week, celebrating the launch of the ‘Sprinkle of Magic’ Princess Experience at its new Westfield White City store from 24-26 August.
Vicky Woods, from the brand, said: “Children remind us that the world is brighter when it’s filled with laughter, imagination, and play.
“Their vision of a kingdom built on joy shows just how magical life can be when seen through young eyes. It’s proof that when children lead with fun and kindness, the world becomes a truly extraordinary place.”
Should they find themselves in power, 48% said they would feel happy seeing everyone smile, and 42% said they would be excited to impose fun rules.
The OnePoll.com study found 90% would mark the coronation with a party – among the most sought after Disney Princess guests were Cinderella, Moana, and Snow White.
Meanwhile, Prince Charming, Aladdin, and Prince Eric were among the most common princes to be invited to the party.
The majority of parents polled admitted their children are already treated like royalty (85%).
Playing up to their treatment, 70% of kids regularly dress up as princesses – with nearly one in five (19 per cent) doing so at least once a week.
Parents said their kids getting into character helps to build their confidence (55%) and sparks excitement (54%). When analysing their princess like traits, parents said their children were creative (56%), empathetic (56%) and honest (55%).
Vicky Woods, from Disney Store, which is marking Disney Princess Week with free to attend ‘sparkle stations’at its Westfield store, added: “Disney princesses embody qualities like courage, kindness, and creativity – traits that continue to inspire children today.
“When little ones step into their favourite characters through dress-up and play, it sparks imagination, builds confidence, and creates magical moments.”
