Sup Nerissa and everyone, good job today I know everyone did their best! Yeah you! (You better vocally say "yeah me" back irl). Anyway, look to the right of the two princesses I introduced you to, thats them again
>right
Thats Princess Ingrid in the white shirt and Princess Estelle in the national dress of sweden with her brother Prince Oscar. What can you tell me about their countenance?
>Princess Ingrid
If you didnt know that was an actual Princess you would say thats the average american college girl. She is not dressing according to her station. She doesnt have (and never will have) the luxury to dress like one of us, a bunch of slobs. So why is she doing so? Compare to her picture on the left. There she is dressed with dignity, self respect, and respect towards her people. On the right there is no dignity or respect for anyone there. Would you be okay with your mother dressed like an american college girl? No, your mother has a different station in life and should dress accordingly. Our Princess has to do the same.
>Princess Estelle
It's a perfect photo. There is nothing bad or even mediocre about it. Thats a lady and a young gentleman, that are both dressed with dignity, and respect for their stations in life. Though both children in that photo, they are dressed up according to who they are (nobility and an example for us their people).
>countenance
Princess Ingrid, is leaning against a tree (bad posture) with a teeth bearing smile (reminder, hardcore people say no teeth in smiles), an aimless arm floating in the air, arm skin showing, and likely not wearing a skirt. Worst of all her shirt is transparent enough that we can see her bra. That is for the eyes of her husband only, we shouldnt be seeing that. She also appears to be wearing a red string bracelet which is a kabbalah bracelet (jew mysticism), though it is held by a paperclip and I have never seen one like that. I hope its not, but I wouldnt be surprised. She is a Princess and across all metrics she fails to show us that.
>more
However this is not to say we should hate or dislike her. On the contrary, we should look inward. This is our fault not hers. Change can come about "top down" or "bottom up". There is nothing wrong with that photo if that were a normal girl (or so we think). And thats exactly why our Princess felt comfortable enough to publish that photo, because we have bred a culture where clothing like that and a pose like that is not out of place. Picrel, what would those women say if you showed them that photo and told them thats the Princess of Norway. They would be scandalized. "Thats no way for a young lady to dress, much less a Princess and look at that undignified pose. My goodness where is her father?"
>us
That photo doesnt exist if we as a whole didnt allow it to exist. This is why we cannot blame her, we only have ourselves to blame. We are as responsible for them as much as they are responsible for us. We are a family, never forget. So we must pray for her and guide her to amend her ways. How? By changing ourselves, unironically becoming the change we want to see.
>countenance
Princess Estelle on the other hand is demonstrating perfectly (in that photo) what we can be. Perfect posture, dressed in marian modesty and national clothing, kind smile with no teeth, a loving arm around her brother (who is dressed up emulating his father and accepting the responsibilities of a Prince), both well groomed, hair is perfect, there is nothing wrong in that photo. Perfect job both of you, good job! What can we learn? Perfect countenance, and a great example to learn from.
>Princess Vittoria of Savoy
Beneath the white shirt photo of Princess Ingrid is Princess Vittoria (Italy (though the Italian monarchy were ousted so they neither reign nor rule currently)). What can you tell me about her? What type of woman is she? This is a far worse example of the above photo. Princess Ingrid looks like a saint in comparison. Immodest eyes, hair covering the face, mouth agape open, and small translucent tank top with her nipples showing. Theres nothing I can say about her that you don't already know, so i'll leave it there. I should repeat this is our fault not hers, she felt comfortable enough to post that, she felt in like company because sadly she is. We should be dissapointed in ourselves not her. Pray the rosary for her.
>me
I should also restate I am taking the position of a hardcore etiquette teacher when I write these lessons. I am in no position to speak ill of them (or anyone else) or judge them, as I would be casting stones from a glass house. I dont have perfect countenance, nor perfect etiquette, on the contrary i'm still a huge mess myself. They could say a milllion worse things about me, and theyd just be getting started. Theyre all doing perfect in comparison to me.
