    .. literally. Assuming you are available, and you are genuinely interested in her, would you date an actual royal/princess?

    Additional things to take into consideration: your lifestyle, your income. Some people have said their pride wouldn't allow them to? Also, her income, her lifestyle, her riches, her habits, her family, your family.

    What I'm trying to get at is: if everything is going well and you're both genuinely interested and she has a great personality, would the extreme difference in past/future lifestyle + wealth be a barrier for you? What other things would you consider?

    marry into royalty/wealth = you become royalty and rich as well.

    She'd either have to be extremely unattractive or I'd have to be wealthy and successful enough to feel that I was in her league socially. It just seems like there'd be so many people judging and waiting for it to fail.

    lol seriously guys, I get that we would be dreaming of ferraris and mansions, but reality is this:

    can you afford to take her out on a date?

    are you willing to sit in economy alone, or do u join her in her private jet?

    do you really want to have to go to social gatherings with elitist people?

    Do you fear that she may have traces of being snobbish in her, but it's just not apparent yet?

    Would you ever get custody of children if it gets to that?

    For me the main thing is dealing with the difference. I'm not a freeloader, nor would I want to be. However, if I was the prince and she was in my position, would I consider her a freeloader for sitting in my private jet? use my yacht? etc? Is this only a problem due to historical gender roles? Will these material and ultimately unimportant things wreck a perfectly good relationship?

    I've always thought there were some parallels between Mathloom and MacBeth.

    You bring all this up, but really only concern is the snobbish/elitist nature of family. Because you already claim you get along great with girl, so it is assumed she isn't this way, and being a princess able to get whoever the f she wants, she is going to act however she wants (aka not hiding snobbishness)

    Fact of the matter is she freeloaded her way to being rich/successful, so I don't think she would feel like you are freeloading off of her.

    Maybe

    The drawback is, if you ever lose interest in her, suggest a divorce or have an secret affair, and the Royal family finds out, you better grow eyes in the back of your head for the rest of you life because someone's gonna come and wack you.
