PRINCESS PROGRAM
We are currently looking for more information to help build our princess history. Are you a past princess with stories or memorabilia? We'd love for you to pause your search for prince charming and drop us a line.
Our Bavarian princesses are always on the move, from parades and festivals to princess teas and capital visits. For the latest and most up to date appearance schedule, look no further.
Have you secretly always dreamed of being a princess? Do you put on dirndls at home and spin around to polka music? If this sounds like your average Friday night, the princess program may be right up your alley.
