A prince, for instance, is a young man with integrity and a fortune of some kind. A knight is the same character, but in armor and ready for a fight. The knight may not have a fortune to draw on, but will no doubt amass one in due time.
The prince and the knight are young men of character. They are the young versions of kings.
Princesses are young women, also with integrity. They may or may not have a fortune to draw on. However, in due time, they become queens. They are the young women who will be good wives for the princes and knights.
For some reason, there is a lack of princes and knights these days. At least, that's my theory regarding the increasing rate of suicides among teenage girls, and I believe the problem is caused by the gate keepers and overlords.
The gate keepers are politicians and the overlords are the bankers. They are sinister characters constantly corrupting society with their rules and fake money. They tempt and coerce young men into idleness.
The result is that the men who should have become knights and princes end up as vagabonds and clowns. They idle away their lives with trivialities. Instead of learning a trade, they stay at home playing video games. Instead of work, they spend their time and money on college degrees of no value.
Instant gratification is valued above long term planning and gains. After all, the gate keepers have promised everybody a free lunch for ever, so why plan for the future. And with hard work first being taxed and then being depreciated through inflation, who wants to save for the future?
The prince is becoming a rare specimen. It is no wonder so many princesses are depressed.
