Apparently it's every little girl's dream to become a Princess.To dress up in ball gowns, to wear tiaras and sparkly jewellery. You marry a handsome Prince, you're swept off your feet and live happily ever after.
Except I wish this was my reality. I dream of my happily ever after.
When the King and Queen of England adopted me into the Royal Family at the age of four, I thrived on the idea of being a Princess. To say they spoilt me rotten would be an understatement. They let me do anything and have everything, without fail.
I grew up with the King and Queen's biological children, Victoria and Louis. They were much older than me but we still got to play together and I soon found a sense of family. A place where I belonged and they let me be who I wanted.
Victoria and Louis both married their partners and started families of their own.
I've always been grateful for being adopted by them, I never went without. I had butlers, maids, personal tailors, chefs and even teachers to be home-schooled.
When I turned eighteen I couldn't wait to start my life as an adult, I had dreamt of going to university studying amongst other students and getting a real job within society. I wanted to help as much as possible.
Coming from a broken home to a loving home, I wanted nothing more than to help children who were in a similar position as me. Desperately needing an adoring family to help them grow into wonderful humans that they are.
When I discussed my ideas for the future with my father he shut them down in an instance, saying that I couldn't risk going to University. It would be too dangerous and that people outside the castle wouldn't be kind to me. The real world isn't kind.
Considering I've barely been outside of the castle without being chaperoned or going to a Royal Family organised event, I've never mingled with regular people and that's all I wish I could do.
Step foot on soil outside and mix with people who I am yet to know. People's stories I am yet to hear. Live a life I am yet to experience.
My new ideas triggered my father and he hired guards to watch me twenty-four seven. As my mind wandered, my dad became fearful for my actions. He said my time would come but it's not now, the outside world is too threatening.
The guards became too much, following me every second of the day. Not giving me a chance to breathe or space to be by myself. All of this because I want to go out into the big wide world?
I knew that something didn't make sense.
No matter how hard I tried to speak to my dad he didn't want to listen, then my mother would get frustrated at me. Telling me they already had too much on their plate than to deal with me too.
The only way I could get them to listen is to sabotage the guard's jobs, forcing them to quit.
This angered my father more than I expected, meaning I hit the jackpot.
I will do everything in my power to get control of my life. I am twenty-two years old and I want to study, I want to travel, I want to explore. Yet I am confined to this castle, not able to leave because of my parents wishes.
They might call me selfish and ungrateful but wanting to live my life is a basic human right. I deserve to live my life the way I wish and not to be controlled by my parents because it suits them.
The parents who raised me with love and care are now treating me as their personal prisoner with no way to escape.
But I will escape, even if it kills me.
